Abstract
Flexible, body-worn healthcare/medical devices have the potential to revolutionize preventive medical care and health promotion. Carbon nanotube thin films are promising electronic materials for transistors, biosensors and other passive components to build such flexible devices because of the excellent electronic and mechanical properties and biocompatibility. In the presentation, we introduce our recent works on flexible transistors and biosensors based on carbon nanotube thin films, including the wafer-scale fabrication and characterization of carbon nanotube thin-film transistors, the improvement of sensitivity of electrochemical biosensors based on redox cycling process, the development of thin film transistor-based biosensors with ultra-high sensitivity and wide dynamic range.
