Findings from Tongji University Yields New Findings on Bioelectronics (Robust, Stretchable Bioelectronic Interfaces for Cardiac Pacing Enabled By Interfacial Transfer of Laser-induced Graphene Via Water-response, Nonswellable Pva Gels).

A recent study conducted by researchers at Tongji University in Shanghai, China, has developed a new method for creating flexible and stretchable bioelectronic interfaces for cardiac pacing. The researchers used laser-induced graphene (LIG) and water-responsive polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) gels to create robust and conductive composites. These composites were successfully used for electrocardiogram signal recording and electrical pacing on rat hearts in both ex vivo and in vivo experiments. The study expands the application of LIG in bioelectronic interfaces and has the potential to advance electrotherapy for cardiac diseases. [Extracted from the article]
