Congeneric and Robust Adhesive Epidermal Patch for Anti‐Interference Physiological Signal Recognition

Abstract

AbstractEpidermal patches utilized for the transduction of biopotentials and biomechanical signals are pivotal in wearable health monitoring. However, the shortcomings, such as inferior conformal ability, deficient adhesion, and motion artifacts, severely impede the bioelectrodes from perceiving stable and superior‐quality physiological signals. Herein, a polymer epidermal patch possessing a spontaneous Janus structure is facilely prepared through itaconic acylhydrazine (IAH) induced gradient polymerization. The solubility discrepancy of the monomers in IAH authorized the Janus structure with distinct adhesion properties on each side. Moreover, the hydrogen bond network constructed by IAH confers the polymer with a high degree of skin compliance, enabling dynamic and stable mechanical properties to withstand complex monitoring environments. By integrating skin‐like softness (Young's modulus ≈0.16 MPa), robust adhesion (35 kPa), and high signal‐to‐noise ratio (32 dB), this epidermal patch displays exceptional elasticity within the physiological activity spectrum, provides swift electrical and mechanical self‐recovery capabilities, and resists interference in dynamic signal monitoring (deformation, compression, humidity, etc.). By demonstrating multifaceted applications for Electrocardiogram recording under diverse disturbances, the epidermal patch profiles a promising noninvasive, enduring wearable bioelectronic interface with immunity to interference.
