Abstract

Photonic skins enable a direct and intuitive visualization of various physical and mechanical stimuli with eye‐readable colorations by intimately laminating to target substrates. Their development is still at infancy compared to that of electronic skins. Here, an ultra‐adaptable, large‐area (10 × 10 cm2), multipixel (14 × 14) photonic skin based on a naturally abundant and sustainable biopolymer of a shape‐memory, responsive multiphase cellulose derivative is presented. The wearable, multipixel photonic skin mainly consists of a photonic sensor made of mesophase cholesteric hydroxypropyl cellulose and an ultra‐adaptable adhesive layer made of amorphous hydroxypropyl cellulose. It is demonstrated that with multilayered flexible architectures, the multiphase cellulose derivative–based integrated photonic skin can not only strongly couple to a wide range of biological and engineered surfaces, with a maximum of ≈180 times higher adhesion strengths compared to those of the polydimethylsiloxane adhesive, but also directly convert spatiotemporal stimuli into visible color alterations in the large‐area, multipixel array. These colorations can be simply converted into 3D strain mapping data with digital camera imaging.
