Three-dimensional buckling-structure flexible neural electrode and preparation process thereof

Abstract

The invention provides a three-dimensional buckling-structure flexible neural electrode and a preparation process thereof. The electrode comprises an elastic substrate, an adhesion layer, a polyimidesubstrate layer, a metal electrode layer and a polyimide packaging layer, the metal electrode layer is arranged on one surface of the polyimide substrate layer, the polyimide packaging layer is arranged above the metal electrode layer, and the polyimide substrate layer, the metal electrode layer and the polyimide packaging layer form a two-dimensional planar-structure electrode; the adhesion layeris arranged on the other surface of the polyimide substrate layer and comprises a Ti layer and a SiO2 layer, the Ti layer is arranged on the surface of the polyimide substrate layer, the SiO2 layer is arranged on the Ti layer, strong chemical bonds generated by condensation reaction between the SiO2 layer and the elastic substrate enable the two-dimensional planar-structure electrode to be bondedwith the surface of the elastic substrate, and the elastic substrate deforms to enable the two-dimensional planar-structure electrode to form the three-dimensional buckling-structure electrode underextruding effect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a microelectrode in the technical field of biomedical engineering, in particular to a flexible neural electrode with a three-dimensional buckling structure and a preparation process thereof. Background technique [0002] Brain diseases have become one of the biggest challenges facing the health field in my country and the world. Most brain diseases, such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease, lack clear mechanism research and effective treatment methods. Therefore, new technologies for brain diseases and The development of new treatment options is imminent. The excitation and conduction of neurons will cause the cerebral cortex to have continuous rhythmic potential changes, that is, the spontaneous brain electrical activity of the cortex, and the patterns of such bioelectrical activities can be recorded through electrodes and instruments. [0003] The relationship between the functional connectivity of neural circuits ...
