Responsive materials and mechanisms as thermal safety systems for skin-interfaced electronic devices

Minimizing patient risk to thermal failure in wearable electronics typically requires complex circuit control, sensors, or passive materials. Here, Yoo et al. present an active materials system with a self-inflating bladder that delaminates upon excessive heat, mitigating the risk of thermal injury.
