Abstract

This paper reports the first effort to achieve large-area dynamic pressure mapping by a flexible and transparent microfluidic film, referred to as microflotronics, facilitating seamless integration with state-of-the-art microelectronics. The microflotronic devices offer a sensitivity of 0.45 kPa ^-1 and response time in millisecond range, which is at least an order of magnitude faster than that of its conventional solid-state counterparts. Several practical applications were successfully demonstrated, including surface topology mapping and dynamic blood pressure monitoring. The microflotronic devices offer an alternative approach to the solid-state pressure sensors, by offering an unprecedented sensitivity and ultrafast response time in a completely transparent, flexible and adaptive platform.
