Electrode materials for recording biomedical signals, such as electrocardiography (ECG), electroencephalography (EEG) and evoked potentials data, are expected to be soft, hydrophilic and electroconductive to minimize the stress imposed on living tissue, especially during long-term monitoring. We have developed and characterized string-shaped electrodes made from conductive polymer with silk fib...

Ice protection systems (IPS) are critical components for many aerospace flight vehicles, including commercial transports and unmanned aerial systems (UAS), and can include antiicing, de-icing, ice sensing, etc.. Here, an IPS is created using nanomaterials to create a surface-modified external layer on an aerosurface based on observations that polymer nanocomposites have tailorable and attractiv...

In this paper, we present polymerization condition at which conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxytheophene) (PEDOT) known as bio-compatible material was grown on the MEA(Multi Electrode Array) electrodes and successively reduced the impedance of MEA electrodes. Proposed polymerization condition was selected to be similar to neural stimulation condition which is safe to neurons, so polymeriz...

The aim of the present study is to combine a bio-inspired nanofibrous artificial epithelium to the electronic nose (e-nose) principles. The sensing device set up was an electronic nose consisting of an array of 9 micro-chemoresistors (Cr-Au, 3×3) coated with electrospun nanofibrous structures. These were comprised of doped polyemeraldine base blended with 3 different polymers: polyethylene oxid...

   Zinc oxide has been considered as a promising semiconductor material for fabrication of transparent conductive oxides (TCOs), electronic devices, optoelectronics, and solar cells. Among the various morphologies of zinc oxide, nanorods are more widely used because of the ease of synthesis and providing a direct path for the transport of charge carriers. The electrochemical deposi...

Polymer-modified electrodes were obtained by spin-coating solutions of poly(benzobisimidazobenzophenanthroline) ladder (BBL) and semiladder (BBB) polymers on indium-tin oxide electrodes. An electrochemical study of these films showed reproducible and stable cyclic voltammograms for reduction of the polymer (in the absence of oxygen), the absence of waves for oxidation of the polymer, and brilli...

Additive manufacturing, or three-dimensional (3D) printing, offers a unique solution for fabricating complex geometries with high tolerances. Currently, many commercial additive manufacturing machines focus on the printing of polymers limited functionalities. However, conductive (CPs) can be processed to enable conductive, low-density, and low-cost parts myriad applications. This review summari...

Polyaniline (PANI) nanocomposite has been successfully prepared in aqueousmedia by the chemical polymerization of aniline with ammonium peroxydisulphateas an initiator in the presence of a steric stabilizer such as sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate(DBSNa), Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP), poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA), poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC). Thechemical structure, m...
