Our upcycled wearable device features intelligent environmental sensing through a simple deposition process, enabling dual responsiveness to UV light and acid/base vapors. Enhanced with a conductive, self-healing coating, it is well-suited for wearable electronics and anticounterfeiting applications. Compared to conventional sensors, it offers superior chemical resistance, adaptability, recyclability, and sustainability—significantly enhancing the value and competitiveness of recycled plastics.

Our technology uses upcycled PET elastomer substrate with simple layer-by-layer deposition to develop wearable sensors featuring dual UV and acid/base responsiveness, high mechanical strength, and self-healing conductivity. It operates without external power, reacts rapidly, resists corrosion, and offers high yield and sustainability, demonstrating a breakthrough in transforming recycled plastics into high-value smart materials.

Our technology applies upcycled PET combined with a self-healing coating and environmental sensing functions to develop a wearable device integrating anti-counterfeiting and intelligent monitoring. This material rapidly self-heals at room temperature, extending device lifespan, thereby supporting carbon neutrality goals. Compared to traditional sensors, it offers superior environmental resistance, demonstrating strong industrial potential in smart wearables and green electronics.
