A Generic Strategy to Create Mechanically Interlocked Nanocomposite/Hydrogel Hybrid Electrodes for Epidermal Electronics
Abstract
Highlights Nanocomposite/hydrogel hybrid electrodes are created with high interfacial toughness by introducing soft microfoams as the mechanically interlocking layer. In the hybrid electrodes, silver nanowires and hydrogels are electrically connected through the porous microfoams, achieving high conductivity and low contact impedance for high-quality biopotential recordings. The microfoam-enabled bonding strategy is generally applicable to diverse polymer substrates.
