An Electronic Slime-Based Epidermal Electrode Using Carbon Nanocomposites for Biosignal Sensing by Yu Feng, Hui Sun, Meng Chen, Cong Wu, Jiankun Li, Zhi Li, Kremena Makasheva, Na Liu, Guanglie Zhang, Wen Jung Li

“…Our results demonstrate the electrode's capability in biosignal sensing, including electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring with a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 46dB and electromyogram (EMG) monitoring for real-time human-robot interaction. This work introduces a novel strategy for the design and fabrication of epidermal electrodes, offering high conformability, low impedance, and superior signal quality, which holds significant promise for applications in intelligent healthcare monitoring and human-machine interfaces.…”
