Biodegradable and Self-deployable Electronic Tent : Minimally Invasive Brain Interfaces
A biodegradable, self-deployable electronic tent automatically sets up in various environments, offering minimal invasiveness in limited spaces without manual intervention. It integrates functional devices (ECoG, temperature, strain, and pH sensors) made from thin biodegradable inorganic materials (Si nanomembranes, SiO2, Mg, Mo) for flexibility and high electrical performance. This material integration allows seamless deployment and operation. Equipped with embedded sensors and wireless communication, the tent provides real-time monitoring and data collection for various applications. After use, the tent dissolves in the body over a controlled lifetime, reducing the need for secondary removal surgery and associated risks.
