Abstract
This article presents the Raman spectroscopy analysis of a polymeric, flexible and electrically conductive material which can be used to fabricate a dry ECG electrode. For the development of this material, polyaniline (Pani) was used as main matrix, the host matrix was an acrylic resin; and the material was reinforced with carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) doped with Ag, and functionalized with Cl. It was found that the final composite material (FCM) had an electric resistance of 1000 Ω and an electrical conductivity of 0,002 S cm-1 for a material area of 0,01 m2. This FCM is being tested as a dry electrode for a new ECG system which is also being developed at the Centro de Bioingenieria of the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana.
本文介绍了一种可用于制造干法ECG电极的聚合物柔性导电材料的拉曼光谱分析。该材料以聚苯胺(Pani)为主要基体,以丙烯酸树脂为基体;用掺杂Ag的碳纳米管(MWCNTs)增强材料,并用Cl进行功能化。结果发现,最终的复合材料(FCM)在材料面积为0.01 m2时,电阻为1000 Ω,电导率为0.002 S cm-1。这种FCM正在作为一种新的ECG系统的干电极进行测试,该系统也正在玻利维亚玻利瓦尔大学生物工程中心开发。
