Analysis of electro-conductive properties of textile materials for use as electrodes

U radu se predstavlja istraživanje plošnih tekstilnih proizvoda za elektrode. Da bi se odredila prikladnost tekstilnih materijala, provedena su mjerenja otpora. Na temelju dobivenih rezultata ispitivanja konstruirani su različiti tipovi tekstilnih elektroda. Ispitivanja tekstilnih elektroda provedena su na ljudskoj lutki - fantomu. Svojstva elektrovodljivosti podlaktice ljudske lutke također su opisana. Na temelju ovih rezultata bili su mogući specijalni elektrovodljivi hidrogelovi s elektrovodljivim česticama. Hidrogel je važan elementmodela podlaktice fantoma za elektrode za elektrostimulaciju mišića. Hidrogel je ekvivalentan ljudskoj koži i tkivu. Hidrogel bi trebao imati postojanost i ponovljivost elektrovodljivih elektroda.In the paper the research of flat textile products for use as electrodes was presented. To determine the suitability of textile materials resistance measurements were carried out. Based on the received results of studies different types of textile electrodes were designed. Textile electrodes tests were caried out on human phantoms. The electro-conductive properties of human forearm phantom were also described. Based on these results special electro-conductive hydrogels with electro-conductive particles were feasible. The hydrogel is an important element of the forearm’s phantom model of a survey of electrodes for muscle electrostimulation. The hydrogel is equivalent to human skin and tissue. The hydrogel should have a permanence and repetition of the electro-conductive properties
