Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention particularly relates to a flexible bioelectric dry electrode, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof, belonging to the technical field of bioelectric dry electrodes. Background Art

[0002] The electrophysiological signals (such as electromyogram, electrooculogram, electrocardiogram, electroencephalogram, etc.) on the human body surface contain rich and important information about various physiological states of the human body, and have broad application prospects in the fields of health monitoring, sports management, medical care, and human-computer interaction interfaces. For example, through surface electromyogram signals, various neuromuscular diseases (such as muscle fatigue, myasthenia gravis, myotonia, and muscular atrophy, etc.) can be diagnosed, the movements and intensities of athletes' training can be analyzed, and decoding recognition can be performed according to their signal characteristics to achieve the control of prostheses and other motion machinery (such as robots); through electrocardiogram signals, various heart diseases such as arrhythmia, myocardial hypertrophy, and ischemia can be diagnosed and differentiated; through electroencephalogram signals, various brain diseases such as epilepsy, hypoxic-ischemic diseases, and hepatic encephalopathy can be diagnosed and guided in treatment, and external devices can be manipulated by means of the mind in combination with machine learning, etc.

[0003] The electrophysiological signals on the human body surface are generally relatively weak, and the signal amplitude is at the μV to mV level. Therefore, how to non-invasively and continuously collect high-quality electrophysiological signals from the human skin surface is the key to the research. At present, the most commonly used bioelectric electrode in clinical practice is the wet Ag / AgCl gel electrode, which is usually composed of an Ag / AgCl disk electrode, a conductive gel, and an adhesive. It has the characteristics of easy operation and use and excellent signal acquisition quality. However, the Ag / AgCl gel electrode can only be used for a short period of time. For long-term measurement, since the conductive gel in the wet Ag / AgCl gel electrode is used as an ionic electrolyte to transmit signals, the gel will continuously lose water and dry out under environmental conditions, resulting in continuous attenuation of the collected signal quality. In addition, the long-term attachment of the conductive gel to the human body will also cause skin irritation. Based on these problems, researchers and doctors are working hard to seek a new alternative method that can overcome the above problems and have the same diagnostic efficiency to achieve long-term monitoring of physiological electrical signals.

[0004] Bioelectric dry electrodes can directly contact the skin without using an electrolyte or gel as a conductive medium, so their performance will not decline over time, and they have received extensive attention from domestic and foreign researchers. Currently, the bioelectric dry electrodes on the market are generally made of rigid materials (usually precious metals). These electrodes cannot fit well with the rough skin surface, and the interface contact between the electrode and the skin is not stable during movement, which not only results in a low signal-to-noise ratio of the measured electrophysiological signals but also easily induces large dynamic noise.

[0005] To further improve the contact degree between the electrode and the skin surface, flexible bioelectric dry electrodes have emerged. Although significant progress has been made in the development of flexible bioelectric dry electrodes in recent years, most of them use non-porous solid flexible polymers as substrates, such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), polyimide (PI), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Although these substrates have a low modulus, their air permeability and sweat permeability are relatively poor, seriously preventing the evaporation of sweat, the emission of volatile organic components from the human skin, and heat diffusion. Therefore, over time, the wearing comfort of the electrode gradually decreases, and in severe cases, it can even induce skin inflammatory reactions (such as skin itching, skin irritation, dry peeling, allergic redness, etc.). In addition, there is also evidence that the failure to drain sweat in time will cause sweat to accumulate between the skin and the electrode, seriously reducing the interfacial adhesion force between the skin and the electrode, resulting in skin-electrode interface delamination or even electrode detachment, leading to obvious artifacts or even signal loss in the collected signals. These above problems greatly limit the ability of flexible bioelectric dry electrodes to read signals for a long time in challenging environments (such as sweating, wound exudation, and high-temperature environments).

[0006] Therefore, the development of flexible bioelectric dry electrodes with high air permeability is of great significance for the long-term monitoring of electrophysiological signals. In recent years, researchers have reported some flexible bioelectric dry electrodes with excellent air permeability. For example, gold nanogrid electrodes, porous graphene electrodes based on porous elastomeric sponges, and serpentine gold electrodes based on microporous silica gels. Although the above existing electrodes have a certain air permeability under normal conditions, their air permeability is still difficult to meet the actual requirements. And when the wearer sweats profusely under hot and humid conditions or after exercise, the above electrodes will be soaked in sweat due to the inability to quickly evaporate sweat, making it impossible for the electrodes to collect stable electrophysiological signals.

[0102] 1) Uniformly disperse silica (SiO2, 2 wt%) in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF, 90 wt%) by magnetic stirring and ultrasonic treatment, and then add polyacrylonitrile (PAN, 8 wt%) and continuously stir to ensure its complete dissolution, thereby obtaining a PAN-SiO2 solution;

[0103] Transfer the obtained PAN-SiO2 solution to a 5 mL plastic syringe with a metal needle (the aforementioned metal spinneret, the same hereinafter, with an inner diameter of 0.5 mm). Fix the aluminum foil (i.e., the aforementioned receiving substrate) on the roller, set the rotation speed of the roller to 100 rpm, set the distance between the metal needle of the syringe and the aluminum foil placed on the roller to 15 cm, and apply a high-voltage electrostatic field with a voltage of 11.0 kV between the metal needle of the syringe and the aluminum foil placed on the roller, and electrospin for 80 min to prepare a PAN-SiO2 nanofiber membrane with a porous network structure on the surface of the aluminum foil;

[0104] To further increase the wettability of the fiber membrane, place the obtained PAN-SiO2 fiber membrane in a 2.5 M NaOH solution (C2H5OH∶H2O = 7∶3 v / v) and hydrolyze it at a temperature of 50 °C for 15 min. Rinse the obtained hydrolyzed membrane (HPAN fiber membrane, superhydrophilic layer) with distilled water until neutral, and then place it in a vacuum oven at 70 °C for drying;

[0105] 2) Dilute the oil-soluble acrylate pressure-sensitive adhesive by 1.5 times, transfer the diluted oil-soluble acrylate pressure-sensitive adhesive to a 5 mL plastic syringe with a metal needle (inner diameter of 0.5 mm). Fix the HPAN fiber membrane prepared in step (1) on the roller, set the rotation speed of the roller to 50 rpm, apply a high-voltage electrostatic field with a voltage of 10.6 kV between the metal needle of the syringe and the HPAN fiber membrane, and electrospin for 40 min to uniformly deposit medical adhesive attachment points on the surface of the superhydrophilic HPAN fiber membrane to enhance the interfacial adhesion with the hydrophobic PU fiber membrane;

[0106] 3) Completely dissolve polyurethane (PU, 22 wt%) in DMF (78 wt%) to obtain a PU solution;

[0107] The obtained PU solution was transferred into a 5 mL plastic syringe with a metal needle (with an inner diameter of 0.5 mm), and the composite fiber membrane prepared in step (3) was immediately fixed on the roller, the rotation speed of the roller was set to 100 rpm, the distance between the metal needle of the syringe and the receiving substrate placed on the roller was set to 15 cm, and a high-voltage electrostatic field with a voltage of 10.3 kV was applied between the metal needle of the syringe and the composite fiber membrane placed on the roller, and electrospinning was performed for 40 minutes, thereby uniformly depositing a PU nanofiber membrane (hydrophobic layer) on the surface of the composite fiber membrane;

[0108] 4) Dilute the silver nanowire / water dispersion (AgNW diameter is 50nm, length is 100-200μm) to 10μgmL -1 The concentration of the composite fiber membrane prepared in step 3) is set at a hydrophilic PES microporous filter membrane as a support layer, and the prepared composite fiber membrane is placed on a full glass sand core filter device as a filter membrane. 40 mL of the ultra-large aspect ratio silver nanowire / water dispersion is poured on the filter membrane, and the air is evacuated to 0.08 MPa with a vacuum pump. Based on the pore size screening principle of the filter membrane, the ultra-large aspect ratio silver nanowires in the silver nanowire / water dispersion are uniformly retained on the surface of the hydrophobic polymer fiber membrane of the composite fiber membrane instead of penetrating into the interior of the flexible biological dry electrode based on nanofibers, thereby forming a uniformly distributed AgNW conductive network film (electrode layer) on the surface of the hydrophobic polymer fiber membrane;

[0109] 5) The composite fiber membrane prepared in step 4) is placed at 70° C. for drying for 2 to 5 minutes, and then fixed on a roller, and the oil-soluble acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive diluted in step 2) is used as a casting liquid, the rotation speed of the rotating shaft is set to 50 rpm, and a high-voltage electrostatic field with a voltage of 10.6 kV is applied between the metal needle of the syringe and the composite fiber membrane placed on the roller, and electrospinning is performed for 40 minutes, thereby depositing medical adhesive adhesion points on the AgNW conductive network film, so as to stably adhere the AgNW conductive network film to the surface of the hydrophobic PU fiber membrane, and finally obtain a flexible bioelectric dry electrode with stable heterogeneous interface bonding, air permeability and unidirectional sweat permeability.

[0110] The inventors of this case have conducted characterization tests on the prepared flexible bioelectric dry electrode (hereinafter referred to as electrode), wherein the cross-sectional SEM image of the flexible bioelectric dry electrode obtained in the embodiment of the present invention is as follows: Figure 3 As shown by Figure 3It can be seen that the flexible bioelectric dry electrode is composed of multiple layers of porous network films stacked together. Under a typical condition, the thickness of the flexible bioelectric dry electrode prepared in the embodiment of the present invention is only 15 μm. The electrode thickness can be further reduced by reducing the electrospinning time of each layer. In addition, the presence of medical glue can be clearly seen on the surface of AgNWs and at the interface between AgNWs and the PU nanofiber membrane.

[0111] A photograph of the flexible bioelectric dry electrode obtained in the embodiment of the present invention attached to the skin of a human forearm is as Figure 4 shown, and from Figure 4 it can be seen that in the electrode-covered area, the irregular topological texture of the epidermis is clearly visible, indicating that the electrode has achieved conformal contact with the human skin, which is of great benefit to improving the signal-to-noise ratio and stability of the collected electrophysiological signals.

[0112] The breathability is evaluated by measuring the weight loss of water in a bottle sealed by the target sample. The inventors of this case placed the bottles covered with different samples (the flexible bioelectric dry electrode provided in the embodiment of the present invention, commercial medical tape 1 (3M, porous medical tape), commercial medical tape 2 (ZhenDe, cotton-type medical tape), and commercial Ag / AgCl gel electrode) at the same temperature and humidity for one week, and calculated the water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) based on the daily water loss. The results are as Figure 5 shown, Figure 5 showing that the WVTR of the flexible bioelectric dry electrode provided in the embodiment of the present invention is comparable to that of the open system, and is 15%, 129%, and 697% higher than commercial medical tape 1 (3M, porous medical tape), commercial medical tape 2 (ZhenDe, cotton-type medical tape), and commercial Ag / AgCl gel electrode respectively. Thus, it can be confirmed that the flexible bioelectric dry electrode provided in the embodiment of the present invention has excellent breathability.

[0113] The wettability difference between the superhydrophilic layer and the hydrophobic layer endows the flexible bioelectric dry electrode with directional water transport performance. As Figure 6a shown, when water droplets are added to the electrode layer - hydrophobic layer surface, the water quickly penetrates from the electrode layer - hydrophobic layer side to the superhydrophilic layer side; when the electrode is flipped so that the superhydrophilic layer side is upward and water droplets are added to the superhydrophilic layer surface, the water droplets added to the superhydrophilic layer side immediately spread instead of penetrating from the superhydrophilic layer side to the electrode layer - hydrophobic layer side (as Figure 6b ); in practical applications, absorbing sweat from the skin surface is against gravity. Therefore, the directional water transport performance of the electrode provided in the embodiment of the present invention under anti-gravity conditions was further evaluated. As expected, once the water contacts the bottom electrode layer - hydrophobic layer surface, it will penetrate upward to reach the top superhydrophilic layer (as Figure 6c shown); from Figure 6a , Figure 6b ,Figure 6c These results clearly show that the multi-layer stacked composite fiber membranes with different wettabilities have the ability of spontaneous directional water transport, and the discharged sweat will not re-permeate in the reverse direction.

[0114] Stability and robustness are also crucial for the long-term use of electrodes. Therefore, the inventors of this case tested the resistance changes of the flexible bioelectric dry electrodes provided in the embodiments of the present invention during bending and cyclic bending: First, the flexible bioelectric dry electrodes were self-adhered to a 100-μm-thick PET substrate, clamped and bent by a stepping motor, and the normalized resistances of the electrodes corresponding to bending at different bending curvatures and performing bending-release cycles at a specific bending curvature are as Figure 7a 、 Figure 7b shown; as the bending curvature increases, the resistance of the electrode remains almost unchanged. Even when the maximum bending curvature is 500 m -1 , the resistance change is only 1.1% (as Figure 7a ); in addition, Figure 7b The long-term test results in prove that the flexible bioelectric dry electrodes in the embodiments of the present invention have excellent anti-cyclic bending durability. After bending 4200 times at a bending curvature of 333 m -1 , the resistance of SRCN only increased by 1.5%.

[0115] To clarify the advantages of the flexible bioelectric dry electrodes in electrophysiological signal monitoring, the inventors of this case also tested the influence of skin sweating on electrocardiogram signals: The electrocardiogram signals were collected using the flexible bioelectric dry electrodes and Ag / AgCl gel electrodes in the embodiments of the present invention before and during sweating, and the results are respectively as Figure 8a 、 Figure 8b 、 Figure 8c 、 Figure 8d shown. Generally speaking, a typical electrocardiogram waveform includes three characteristic peaks, namely the "P" wave, the "QRS" complex, and the "T" wave, as Figure 8a 、 Figure 8b 、 Figure 8c 、 Figure 8d marked. A ratio of the amplitudes of the T and R waves (T / R ratio) close to 1 / 3 means high signal quality. The T / R ratios of the electrocardiogram signals collected by the Ag / AgCl gel electrodes and the flexible bioelectric dry electrodes before sweating are 0.305 and 0.332 respectively (see Figure 8a and 8c ), while after sweating, the T / R ratios become 0.230 and 0.310 respectively ( Figure 8b and 8d ). Thus, it can be seen that the influence of skin sweating on the T / R ratio of the flexible bioelectric dry electrodes is negligible compared with that of the Ag / AgCl gel electrodes.

[0116] On the other hand, the inventors of this case also observed the changes in the baseline of the electrocardiogram signal. The results showed that before sweating, the electrocardiogram signal collected by the Ag / AgCl gel electrode was highly stable, with a baseline drift of only 0.005 mV( Figure 8a ). However, after sweating, the electrocardiogram signal fluctuated significantly, rising and falling vertically, and the corresponding baseline drift rapidly increased to 0.230 mV( Figure 8b ). It is worth noting that the baseline drift value in the electrocardiogram collected by the flexible bioelectric dry electrode before and after sweating remained basically unchanged, with a change as low as 0.003 mV( Figure 8c and 8d ). The above experimental results confirm that the bioelectric dry electrode provided by the embodiments of the present invention can stably collect high-quality electrophysiological signals under normal and sweating conditions.

[0117] A flexible bioelectric dry electrode with breathability and unidirectional sweat permeability provided by an embodiment of the present invention is a unidirectional sweat-permeable epidermal electrode, mainly used for collecting bioelectric signals on the skin surface. And because it has unidirectional sweat permeability, when sweating, it can timely export the sweat generated on the skin surface and prevent the penetration of sweat in the reverse direction. Therefore, the flexible bioelectric dry electrode can still accurately collect bioelectric signals when the skin is sweating (the signal quality of the electromyogram and electrocardiogram collected before and after sweating remains basically unchanged, which could not be achieved before), while the flexible electrodes in the prior art can only achieve efficient capture and collection of water droplets.

[0118] A flexible bioelectric dry electrode with breathability and unidirectional sweat permeability provided by an embodiment of the present invention adds an electrospun medical glue layer (that is, the bonding point) between two heterogeneous fiber membranes, which not only enhances the bonding force between the interfaces of the heterogeneous fiber membranes (the improvement of the bonding strength between the two heterogeneous fiber membranes was not available before); but also enables the AgNW to be cold-welded to the fiber membrane (the AgNW nodes are fixed by the electrospun bonding point), so that the flexible bioelectric dry electrode keeps its resistance unchanged during bending and liquid penetration processes (although it seems common to use metal nanowires as the electrode layer, in the present invention, after preparing the electrode layer, an electrospun medical glue adhesion point layer is added to make the AgNW adhered or cold-welded to the fiber membrane, so as to keep its resistance stable during bending and liquid penetration processes).

[0119] A flexible bioelectric dry electrode with breathability and unidirectional sweat permeability provided by an embodiment of the present invention is thinner (5 - 20 microns), can be conformally attached and self-adhered to the skin surface (the electrode can be directly attached to the human body surface and conform to the skin micro-structure), and the flexible bioelectric dry electrode provided by the embodiments of the present invention has good breathability, and its breathability is better than that of the medical gel electrode and better than that of the medical-grade tape (it does not affect the skin homeostasis function when worn).

[0120] A flexible bioelectric dry electrode provided by an embodiment of the present invention is stacked by multi-layer porous network films with different hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties, and has a large number of thermal-humidity transfer capillary channels inside, so it has excellent air permeability and unidirectional sweat permeability, enabling sweat, volatile organic components and heat generated on the skin surface to diffuse to the outside in a timely manner, and the discharged sweat will not re-permeate in the reverse direction, so that the skin surface can continuously maintain a dry state, is comfortable to wear, and is suitable for long-term monitoring of electrophysiological signals in normal environments and harsh environments (such as sweating, wound exudation and high-temperature environments).

[0121] In a flexible bioelectric dry electrode provided by an embodiment of the present invention, the multi-layer porous network films are stably bonded at the interface with the help of electrospun medical adhesive points, ensuring that the electrode can maintain its structural stability during the continuous transport of sweat without interface delamination. In addition, in a flexible bioelectric dry electrode provided by an embodiment of the present invention, a patterned conductive metal network film is adhered to a hydrophobic polymer fiber membrane, avoiding the problem that its electrical properties change due to slippage when subjected to external stress. Therefore, the electrode has good mechanical properties and electrical durability.

[0122] A flexible bioelectric dry electrode provided by an embodiment of the present invention has an ultra-thin thickness, excellent electrical conductivity, excellent air permeability and unidirectional sweat permeability; it can achieve close adhesion to the complex texture of the skin surface, is comfortable to wear, can resist skin bending and the interference of skin sweat on the electrical properties of the electrode, and can stably capture high-quality bioelectric signals for a long time under normal and sweating conditions. Moreover, the preparation method of a flexible bioelectric dry electrode provided by an embodiment of the present invention has low cost, stable process and good repeatability.

[0123] It should be understood that the above embodiments are only for explaining the technical concept and characteristics of the present invention, and the purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit and essence of the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
