Problems solved by technology

However, if the thickness of the silica gel film substrate is further reduced, it will be difficult to ensure that the silica gel film substrate is always flat during the integration operation. It is easy to be damaged by external force during operation, which makes the mechanical tensile test difficult
[0006] In terms of stretching methods, CN102680320B authorizes a fixture for tensile performance testing of ultra-thin flexible membranes. The first clamp body and the second clamp body are designed respectively, which can clamp thicknesses from several microns to several mm, but it does not mention how to fix the ultra-thin flexible film sample flatly and gently on the fixture. At the same time, it is extremely difficult to manually operate the ultra-thin flexible film that is sticky, especially to ensure that the film is always flat
[0007] To sum up, the existing research and inventions lack the exploration of the flattening test method of ultra-thin viscous silicone film, and the focus is on how to keep the structure flat and intact during the integration process of extensible flexible polymer electrodes and ultra-thin viscous silica gel. It has important application value for carrying out related mechanical tensile experiments

Embodiment 1

[0054] figure 1 Schematic diagram of the final flattening tensile experiment of a stretchable electrode based on ultra-thin viscous silica gel. Among them, the ultra-thin viscous silica gel material is Ecoflex 00-10 silica gel produced by Smooth-On Company, the thickness is 50 microns, and it still has a certain viscosity after curing; Composed of Au metal conductive layer, the thickness of a single-layer parylene film is 2 microns, and the thickness of Cr / Au is 20 / 200 nanometers. The overall structure is a serpentine line, which can be used to collect cortical EEG signals, extracranial EEG signals or Skin electrophysiological signals, etc.; the silicone adhesive is Sil-Poxy single-component adhesive produced by Smooth-On, which is brushed on both ends of the ultra-thin viscous silicone substrate; the material of the thick silicone support block is DragonSkin produced by Smooth-On Silicone, 3mm thick. The side parts of the thick silicone support blocks at both ends, together...

Embodiment 2

[0067] In another embodiment, for figure 2 In S2, S3 and S4, the process flow is simplified, and the water-soluble tape only needs to be used once, that is, S2 does not need to remove the water-soluble tape after the stretchable electrode is transferred. In the actual operation process, such as S3, manually cut the ultra-thin viscous silicone with a scalpel, the cutting is easy and the track is clear. After merging and simplifying the process, it is necessary to cut the water-soluble tape and the covered ultra-thin adhesive silicone at the same time. The scalpel cutting method is no longer suitable, which will cause relative slippage between the two, and the edge of the ultra-thin adhesive silicone will not wrinkle. smooth. Therefore, a non-contact laser cutting machine can be used to complete the simultaneous cutting of water-soluble tape and ultra-thin viscous silicone. Considering that the water-soluble tape and ultra-thin viscous silicone are stacked together to a certai...

The result is a stretchable electrode consisting of two polymer encapsulation layers sandwiched by a metallic conductive layer;

Abstract

The invention discloses an extensible electrode flattening integration method based on ultra-thin viscous silica gel. The extensible electrode flattening integration method comprises the steps that firstly, an extensible electrode is transferred to the surface of the ultra-thin viscous silica gel through a small-area water-soluble adhesive tape; adhering the ultrathin viscous silica gel from the surface of the glass slide together through a large-area water-soluble adhesive tape, and overturning the ultrathin viscous silica gel; next, silica gel adhesive is brushed on the two end areas of the ultrathin viscous silica gel, and the two rectangular thick silica gel supporting blocks formed through cutting are adhered to the adhesive coating areas; then the processes of removing the water-soluble adhesive tape through hot water soaking and drying are completed; finally, the sample is clamped on clamps at the two ends of a mechanical tensile experiment table, the sample is in a flat and non-tensile state, and then the dust-free paper is cut off from the lower portion of the sample through scissors. The integration method of the extensible electrode based on the ultrathin viscous silica gel is innovatively developed, the sample is kept in a flat state in the whole process, self-adhesion is avoided, meanwhile, the operation difficulty is reduced, and beneficial application value is provided for a mechanical tensile experiment of a flexible electronic device.
