The article "The Potential of Electrospinning to Enable the Realization of Energy-Autonomous Wearable Sensing Systems" by K. R. Sanjaya Dinuwan Gunawardhana et al. reviews the potential of electrospinning technology in developing energy-autonomous wearable wireless sensing systems. Electrospinning is highlighted as a promising approach for creating nano/microfiber-based membranes with high surface area, porosity, and mechanical properties, suitable for human in vitro and in vivo applications. The review covers the fundamental mechanisms, applications in energy scavenging, human physiological signal sensing, energy storage, and antenna design for data transmission. It discusses the integration of wearable electronic technology with textile engineering to enhance device performance and wearability. The challenges related to testing and market-ready products are also addressed. The article emphasizes the importance of electrospinning in fabricating ultrafine fibers with customizable properties, making it a preferred method for integrating with textile manufacturing processes. Advanced electrospinning techniques, such as needleless electrospinning, wet electrospinning, and blow electrospinning, are explored for their benefits in increasing production rates and improving mechanical properties. The review provides a comprehensive analysis of how electrospinning can contribute to the development of energy-autonomous wearable wireless sensing systems, including mechanical, solar, thermal, and evaporative energy harvesting, as well as self-powered sensing and energy storage. It also discusses the scalability and testing procedures for wearable applications, aiming to produce market-ready products.The article "The Potential of Electrospinning to Enable the Realization of Energy-Autonomous Wearable Sensing Systems" by K.
