  • Publication number: 20220202333
    Abstract: The invention provides a composition for a conductive polymeric material suitable for the production of electrodes for recording electrophysiological signals, such as electrocardiogram (EGG), electromyogram (EMG), electroencephalogram (EEG), etc and signals related to the impedance variation of the body or skin, both deriving from active and passive measures (for example, breathing, electrodermal response, etc.). For this purpose a formulation containing FEDOT and ionic liquids has been developed. The formulation according to the invention can be used generically in the context of detecting bioelectric signals and can be applied on wearable items, in particular in fabric, such as for example garments of different shapes, so as to be in direct contact with the areas of the body subject to detection.

  • Patent number: 11360046
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an organic electrochemical transistor based on conducting polymers (for example PEDOT:PSS) in which the gate electrode has been integrated on the surface of the channel through the deposition of Ag halide nanoparticles, AgX (X?CI, Br, I). This configuration allows the device to operate without applying a potential difference to the gate electrode (with consequent reduction in operating costs). The device is able to detect the halide ion: by varying the nature of the nanoparticles and in particular by using AgX (X?CI, Br, I) or Ag2S the sensor acquires sensitivity towards anion X or sulfide.
