Abstract The prolonged health monitoring using wearable technology faces challenges stemming from perspiration, including bacterial proliferation, compromised adhesion, signal quality deterioration, and user discomfort. Notably, excessive sweat fosters bacterial colonization, escalating infection risks, and compromising biomarker analysis. Existing antibacterial approaches, unfortunately, risk disrupting the delicate balance of skin microbiota. To address this, we’ve developed a Janus patch featuring Zn-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) modification, which boasts sustained antibacterial properties while preserving the epidermal microecology. It integrates a hydrophobic LDH fabric that mechanically eradicate bacteria via a nanoknife effect, and a laser-engraved medical adhesive with microholes for More >
