1. Overview of Microneedle Technology and Its Limitations 1.1 Overview of Microneedles Microneedles are a minimally invasive transdermal drug delivery technology designed to penetrate the stratum corneum, enabling effective drug administration. Unlike traditional hypodermic needles, microneedles are short and fine, causing minimal pain and reducing the risk of infection by avoiding direct contact with nerves and blood vessels. This technology is widely applied in drug delivery, vaccine administration, gene therapy, and cosmetic dermatology.   1.2 Mechanism of Microneedles Microneedles penetrate the outermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum , and deliver drugs into the epidermis or dermis . Compared to conventional transdermal patches, microneedles enable deeper and more effective drug penetration. Microneedles can be classified into the following types: Solid Microneedles Create micro-channels in the skin for subsequent drug absorption. Improve...

1. Background and Limitations of Existing Technology 1.1 Overview of Electronic Polymers Electronic polymers are conductive polymers that possess lightweight and flexible characteristics, making them highly promising materials for next-generation electronic applications. They are extensively studied in printed electronics, wearable devices, biosensors, and flexible displays, among other applications in the electronics and semiconductor industries. Some of the most notable electronic polymers include poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS), polyaniline, and polypyrrole . These materials can exhibit metal-like electrical properties while remaining flexible and easy to process , making them ideal for a variety of electronic applications. Among them, PEDOT:PSS stands out due to its high conductivity and transparency , making it a key material in organic solar cells, transparent electrodes, and flexible displays .   1.2 Traditional Manufacturing and...
