Embodiment 1

[0053] Example 1, carbon nanotube film in preparing applications with mechanical active nervous system devices

[0054] 1) Characterization of carbon nanotube thin film electrode properties

[0055] We characterize the CNT film electrode array from electrical properties, mechanical properties, and two angles. In terms of electrical properties, in order to initially measure the electrical properties of the microelectrode array in the biological fluid, we first use phosphate buffer Saline, PBS to simulate the body fluid environment, and determine the micro-microdetic three-point test method in electrolyte solution Impedance of electrode arrays at different frequencies. The so-called three-point test method is based on Ag / AGCL as the reference electrode, and platinum wire is the counter electrode, the microelectrode array is a working electrode, and its electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (Electrochemical Impedancespectroscopy, EIS) is measured.

Abstract

The invention discloses the application of a flexible transparent carbon nanotube nerve electrode array in a nerve electro-optical interface. The invention utilizes the characteristics that the carbon nanotube electrode array has high light transmittance in a wide wavelength range, and can still maintain excellent electrochemical properties and optical properties in a stretched state, and realizes electrophysiological signals of cortical epilepsy and two-photon Simultaneous in situ recording of calcium imaging, and real-time recording of EEG under photostimulation, allow observation of neural activity with high temporal / spatial resolution. Utilizing the superior flexibility and extensibility of the carbon nanotube electrode array, it can be used for real-time monitoring of brain electrical activity under brain injury; at the same time, the carbon nanotube electrode array can fit perfectly with the tissue to form a more efficient brain / The electrode interface is conducive to the improvement of the signal-to-noise ratio. The above results all reflect the great application potential of carbon nanotube electrode arrays in the nervous system, especially in the electro-optical interface of mechanically active systems.
