01 / EXPLORE THE INTERFACES

Four research interfaces

Follow the BCCI interface definitions through contact, conduction, integration and host response.

01

Tissue & material

Tissue coupling

Designs adhesion, mechanics and molecular transport in tissue-contacting materials to support the contact and access paths needed for sensing or therapy.

02

Substrate & interconnect

Deformable electrical routing

Addresses how conductive paths are formed and attached on soft substrates to carry signals and power through fabrication and deformation.

14papersExplore →
03

Interconnect & chip

Component integration

Connects deformable wiring to functional components and examines contact resistance, electrical isolation, mechanical compatibility and process compatibility together.

04

Device & host

Host interaction

Examines fouling, friction, inflammation and foreign-body responses at device surfaces, together with ways to retain the intended biological interaction.

Universal hydrogel adhesives with robust chain entanglement for bridging soft electronic materials

npj Flexible Electronics, 8, 39 (2024)

Component integrationComponent assembly and fabrication

Joining dry components and hydrogel–dry interfaces enables assembly of wearable and acute implanted devices. This is an extended component-integration assignment: heterogeneous material assembly extends beyond an interconnect–chip electrical junction.

Postoperative Long-Term Monitoring of Mechanical Characteristics in Reconstructed Soft Tissues Using Biocompatible, Immune-Tolerant, and Wireless Electronic Sutures

ACS Nano, 18(19), 12210-12224 (2024)

Component integrationSensor and actuator integration

A chip-free wireless system combines a capacitive fiber sensor, inductive coil and suture fixation. It extends component integration to sensor-system assembly without demonstrating an interconnect–chip junction. Antifouling and tissue fixation provide host and tissue cross-links.

Functionalized EGaIn Electrodes with Tunable Reduced‐Graphene‐Oxide Assembled EGaIn Core–Shell Particles for Soft and Deformable Electrochemical Biosensors

Advanced Functional Materials, 34(31), 2311696 (2024)

Deformable electrical routingLiquid conductors

Surface-functionalized EGaIn particles form deformable electrochemical electrodes. The work connects to liquid conductors, but its focus on electrode reactivity rather than interconnect continuity makes this an extended assignment.
