An Overview of the Development of Flexible Sensors.

TLDR
Recent studies on flexible sensors for biological analytes, ions, light, and pH are outlined, contemporary studies on device structure, materials, and fabrication methods for flexible sensors are discussed, and a market overview is provided.
Abstract
Flexible sensors that efficiently detect various stimuli relevant to specific environmental or biological species have been extensively studied due to their great potential for the Internet of Things and wearable electronics applications. The application of flexible and stretchable electronics to device-engineering technologies has enabled the fabrication of slender, lightweight, stretchable, and foldable sensors. Here, recent studies on flexible sensors for biological analytes, ions, light, and pH are outlined. In addition, contemporary studies on device structure, materials, and fabrication methods for flexible sensors are discussed, and a market overview is provided. The conclusion presents challenges and perspectives in this field.
