Electronic nano-adhesive plaster capable of measuring muscular activity

From wearable device to patch – electronic nano-adhesive plaster capable of measuring muscular activity

On November 16 at a press conference held by the Public Relations Committee of the Society of Polymer Science, a group comprised of Professor Shinji Takeoka, Assistant Professor Toshinori Fujie, graduate student Kento Yamagishi and others from the Graduate School of Advanced Science and Engineering announced that they have developed an ultrathin electrode (an electronic nano-adhesive plaster) that can be attached to a person’s skin to measure bioelectric signals. The ultrathin electrode was developed in collaboration with a research group from the Italian Institute of Technology comprised of researchers Alessandra Zucca and Francesco Greco, Senior Researcher Virgilio Mattoli, and others. Further details about their research were revealed at the 24th Polymer Material Forum at Tower Hall Funabori on November 26-27.　More
