Noncytotoxic Adhesive Systems Meet Broad Requirements for Medical Devices and Wearables

The continued trend toward smaller, more complex electronic systems enables more sophisticated smart products but creates additional challenges in manufacturing. For wearable and medical applications, in particular, concerns about adverse effects on skin and tissue drive a fundamental need for safe adhesive, sealant, coating, and encapsulant compounds. Designed to address these concerns, a class of compounds combines proven biocompatibility and noncytotoxic characteristics with performance properties required for manufacture of medical devices and wearables intended for contact with the human body.
