TIBI scientists have developed a cryofreezing method to create an aerogel substrate layer that is flexible, breathable, ultralight, and moisture/air-permeable; these qualities are due to its highly uniform and interconnected pores and their potential for three-dimensional capillary action. Inset: scanning electron microscope image of the patch’s porous surface. The substrate’s enhanced capabilities also enable the ability to screen-print integrated multifunctional sensors directly onto the substrate surface
