    Area of Science:

    • Biomaterials science
    • Neurotechnology
    • Materials engineering

    Background:

    • Thin-film neural implants require biocompatible materials for long-term stability.
    • Adhesion mismatches in multilayered devices can cause delamination and device failure.
    • Understanding substrate material stability is crucial for reliable neural interfaces.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the in vitro stability of polyimide (PI) as a single-layer substrate.
    • To assess PI's resilience under simulated implantation and post-mortem processing conditions.
    • To isolate substrate-specific effects on material integrity.

    Main Methods:

    • Accelerated aging protocols mimicked in-vivo implantation environments.
    • Aged PI samples were subjected to aldehyde fixation and storage.
    • Surface morphology (SEM), chemical microstructure (ToF-SIMS, FTIR) were analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • Polyimide (PI) maintained morphological and chemical integrity.
    • Stability was confirmed under accelerated aging, fixation, and storage conditions.
    • No significant degradation was observed in PI under tested harsh conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • Polyimide (PI) is a robust and durable substrate for long-term neural interfaces.
    • PI degradation is unlikely to be a primary failure mode in neural implants.
    • Findings aid in accurate post-implantation analysis by ruling out substrate degradation.
