    • 摘要: 为解决传统商用电极及易脱水失效及低温冻结等问题,本研究以氢键受体硫辛酸 (LA) 与氢键供体百里香酚 (Thymol) 构建了LA-Thymol深共晶基质,结合聚乙二醇二丙烯酸酯 (PEGDA) 与聚乙烯二氧噻吩:聚苯乙烯磺酸盐 (PEDOT∶PSS) 制备了低黏度前驱体。该前驱体溶液涂敷于皮肤后,仅依赖37 ℃体温即可自发原位聚合成高共形的复合深共晶凝胶 (PP-DEG) 电极。研究结果表明,该电极电导率达89.6 S/m,兼具优异的力学性能、黏附性、抗冻保湿性及生物相容性;其在表面肌电信号采集中的静态信噪比高达34.40 dB,抗运动干扰能力强,在长效神经肌肉监测与功能评估领域具有广阔的应用前景。

       

      Abstract: Aiming at the critical limitations of commercial Ag/AgCl electrodes and conventional hydrophilic polymer networks, such as dehydration failure, freezing at low temperatures, and poor signal acquisition quality in open and complex physiological environments, this study proposes an innovative strategy utilizing a deep eutectic system to regulate in situ polymerization. A hydrophobic LA-Thymol deep eutectic matrix was constructed using lipoic acid (LA) as the hydrogen bond acceptor and thymol as the hydrogen bond donor, successfully reducing the melting point of LA within the eutectic system to approximately 33 ℃. A low viscosity precursor was prepared at room temperature by incorporating a small amount of ethanol, polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA), and PEDOT∶PSS aqueous dispersion. Upon application to the skin, this system requires no ultraviolet light or high temperature assistance; relying solely on the physiological body temperature of 37 ℃, it spontaneously triggers the in situ ring opening polymerization of LA, forming a highly conformal PP-DEG flexible sensing electrode. The results demonstrate that the deep eutectic gel achieves a high conductivity of 89.6 S/m and exhibits excellent mechanical and adhesive properties, along with outstanding anti freezing and long lasting moisturizing characteristics. In vitro cytotoxicity, antibacterial, and antioxidant evaluations confirm the exceptional biocompatibility and tissue safety of this electrode. In the verification of surface electromyography signal acquisition, the electrode exhibits extremely low contact impedance and a high static signal to noise ratio of 34.40 dB. Furthermore, it maintains excellent anti baseline drift capability under vigorous motion conditions, demonstrating broad application prospects in the field of long term flexible wearable physiological monitoring.
