Problems solved by technology

However, due to the inherent "core-shell" microstructure of PEDOT:PSS in the intrinsic state (wherein the hydrophobic PEDOT tends to form a curly "core", and the hydrophilic PSS wraps outside the PEDOT to form a "shell"), the electrical conductivity and The stretchability is low, which limits its application to a large extent

Abstract

The invention provides PEDOT: PSS/EG/LiTFSI (poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene): PSS/EG/LiTFSI) conductive ink, an ultra-flexible electrode and a monitoring method of an electrophysiological signal. The PEDOT: PSS/EG/LiTFSI conductive ink is obtained by modifying a PEDOT: PSS solution with ethylene glycol and LiTFSI, the viscosity of the PEDOT: PSS/EG/LiTFSI conductive ink is 1-1000 cP, the surface tension of the PEDOT: PSS/EG/LiTFSI conductive ink is 30-40 mN/m, and the properties of the PEDOT: PSS/EG/LiTFSI conductive ink are not obviously changed after the PEDOT: PSS/EG/LiTFSI conductive ink is placed at room temperature for a long time for 60 days. The total thickness of the super-flexible electrode is as low as 600 nanometers, and the super-flexible electrode is prepared from the conductive ink through an aerosol jet printing technology. The ultrathin flexible electrode with high conductivity and high stretchability can be prepared by controlling the proportion of PEDOT: PSS, EG and LiTFSI, and the resistance of the ultrathin flexible electrode presents a negative growth trend within a 30% strain range.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a PEDOT:PSS / EG / LiTFSI conductive ink, an ultra-flexible electrode and a monitoring method for electrophysiological signals, belonging to the technical field of conductive polymer materials. Background technique [0002] The human body will generate health-related electrophysiological signals (ECG, EMG, EEG, EMG, etc.) during physiological activities. Accurate, real-time, and continuous acquisition of these signals has important application value in the field of human health monitoring. Wearable electrodes are important devices for real-time monitoring of electrophysiological signals. At present, Ag / AgCl gel electrodes are commonly used in clinical practice, but long-term wearing is prone to problems such as signal attenuation, skin irritation and poor stability. Flexible dry electrodes can be in close contact with the skin and exhibit comparable performance to gel electrodes, which has become a current research hotspot. Howev...
