    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Materials Science
    • Wearable Technology

    Background:

    • Wearable electronics are rapidly advancing, particularly in biomedical applications for unobtrusive biopotential monitoring.
    • Polymer-based electrodes offer seamless integration into garments but suffer from fragility and performance degradation due to fabric stretchability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop robust, stretchable electrodes for wearable biosensors that overcome the limitations of current technologies.
    • To improve the durability and performance of electrodes integrated into wearable electronic devices.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel screen-printing deposition technique was employed using a specifically formulated PEDOT:PSS conductive ink.
    • Electrodes were printed onto a pre-stretched commercial polyester sleeve to ensure functionality under strain.
    • The performance of the printed electrodes was evaluated for surface electromyography (sEMG) signal acquisition.

    Main Results:

    • The screen-printed electrodes demonstrated reliable recording of forearm muscular activity.
    • Performance was comparable to traditional commercial gelled silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) electrodes.
    • The electrodes maintained functionality during common operating conditions on a stretchable fabric.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed screen-printing approach offers a viable solution for creating durable, stretchable electrodes for wearable biosensors.
    • This technology holds significant potential for applications in health monitoring and fitness tracking.
    • The developed method addresses key challenges in integrating electronics with textiles for improved performance and reliability.
