We fabricated a novel patch type flexible dry electrode for long-term bio signal monitoring by mixing carbon nanofibers (CNFs) in biocompatible-elastomer (MED6015). The CNFs are high conductivity, low price and easy dispersed in elastomer uniformly related with CNTs (Carbon nanotubes). The fabricated CNFs electrodes are coated with sticky elastomer (MG7-9850) to attach on skins without any other adhesive. The mixing ratio of CNFs and elastomer is diverse to compare electrical and mechanical characteristics. ECG (Electrocardiography) signal quality, sweat effects and motion effects are evaluated and the fabricated electrode was shown good quality of signals and tolerant from both effects. Also the electrode was shown to be biocompatible from biocompatibility test. These electrodes could be used for the long-term measurement of bio potential monitoring and wearable devices.
