Capacitive sensors have many applications in tactile sensing, human-machine interfaces,
on-body sensors, and patient monitoring. Particularly in biomedical applications, it would be
beneficial if the sensor is disposable and readily degradable for efficient recycling. In this
study, we report a biodegradable capacitive tactile pressure sensor based on sustainable
and bio resourced materials. Silver-nanowire-coated rubber tree leaf skeletons are used as
transparent and flexible electrodes while a biodegradable clear tape is used as the dielectric …
