- Abstract
Stretchable electrodes are playing important roles in the measurement of bio‐electrical signals especially in wearable electronic devices. These electrodes usually adopt commercial elastomers such as polydimethylsiloxane or polystyrene‐ethylene‐butylene‐styrene as substrates, which result in poor stability and reliability due to weak interfacial adhesion between electrodes and human skin. Here, dopamine is introduced into the hydrogen bonding based elastomer as pendent groups. The elastomer shows both mechanical strength and adhesion strength at the same time. It exhibits high stress at break (1.9 MPa) and high fracture strain (5100%). Significantly, it exhibits a high adhesive strength (≈62 kPa) and underwater adhesive strength (≈16 kPa) with epithelial tissue. Thus, a stretchable bio‐interfacial electrode is fabricated by spray‐coating silver nanowires on the elastic substrate, which is stretchable, self‐healable, and highly adhesive and suitable for electromyogram measurement.
