Outline of Final Research Achievements

To monitor and stimulate muscle activity for long time, we developed wearable electrode which is made of conductive polymer and ionic liquid gel. The fabrication process to pattern conductive polymer and ionic liquid gel on soft stretchable knit textile has been constructed. The fabricated electrode is utilized for Electromyography (EMG). Our electrode exhibits lower impedance between human skin. these electrodes demonstrated high performance long-term stability during more than 24 hours of ECG recordings. Finally, the neuromuscular tests were performed with our wearable electrode and M, V, H waves were observed.
