For device fabrication, an advanced liquid metal patterning method based on soft lithography is used to form interdigitated capacitors and integrate them with microfluidics. To highlight flexibility and stretchability, the electrical characteristics of the interdigitated capacitor are investigated subject to mechanical loading. Finally, VOC detection is demonstrated using the all-soft microfluidic sensing platform in both the liquid and gas phase.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThanks to its softness, lightweight, flexibility, and stretchability, the proposed chemical sensing platform is suited for wearable sensing\u0026nbsp;applications either on the skin or on clothing and for potential applications in next-generation sensing electronics for the Internet of\u0026nbsp;Things (IoT).\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EECE Ph.D. student\u0026nbsp;Min-gu Kim won the third place Oral Student Paper Award at IEEE Sensors 2016, held October 30-November 2 in Orlando, Florida.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"ECE Ph.D. student\u00a0Min-gu Kim won the third place Oral Student Paper Award at IEEE Sensors 2016, held October 30-November 2 in Orlando, Florida."}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2016-11-10 15:58:04","changed_gmt":"2016-11-10 16:02:14","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2016-11-10T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2016-11-10T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"583747":{"id":"583747","type":"image","title":"Min-gu Kim at IEEE Sensors 2016","body":null,"created":"1478793527","gmt_created":"2016-11-10 15:58:47","changed":"1478793527","gmt_changed":"2016-11-10 15:58:47","alt":"","file":{"fid":"222548","name":"Min-gu Kim.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Min-gu%20Kim.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Min-gu%20Kim.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":1202256,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/Min-gu%20Kim.jpg?itok=qQw6NbEK"}}},"media_ids":["583747"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu","title":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.gatech.edu","title":"Georgia Tech"},{"url":"http:\/\/ieee-sensors2016.org","title":"IEEE Sensors 2016"}],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[{"id":"132","name":"Institute Leadership"},{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"8862","name":"Student Research"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"},{"id":"138","name":"Biotechnology, Health, Bioengineering, Genetics"},{"id":"153","name":"Computer Science\/Information Technology and Security"},{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"149","name":"Nanotechnology and Nanoscience"},{"id":"150","name":"Physics and Physical Sciences"}],"keywords":[{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"166855","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"id":"172701","name":"Min-gu Kim"},{"id":"24241","name":"Oliver Brand"},{"id":"172702","name":"IEEE Sensors 2016"}],"core_research_areas":[{"id":"39441","name":"Bioengineering and Bioscience"},{"id":"39451","name":"Electronics and Nanotechnology"},{"id":"39471","name":"Materials"},{"id":"39501","name":"People and Technology"}],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJackie Nemeth\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E404-894-2902\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
