▎ 摘　　要

In this paper, three categories of ECG electrodes were fabricated. Graphene/PDMS(Polydimethylsiloxane)(G-I), Graphene/MWCNT-COOH(Carboxylic-acid functionalized Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes)/PDMS(G-II),and Graphene/SWCNT-COOH(Carboxylic-acid functionalized Single-walled Carbon Nanotubes)/PDMS(G-III). Each group had thirteen electrodes with varying concentrations ranging from 0.1-5wt%. Since CNTs get tangled easily, it becomes necessary to disperse them properly. To achieve optimal dispersion, CNTs were first sonicated with Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA), and then with PDMS. Mold casting was the technique used for fabricating the electrodes. The results were compared with the conventional ECG electrodes. Best results were achieved from G-III at 3wt% as the value of capacitance is high (0.172nF) as compared to G-I and G-III values at 3wt% which are 0.036nF (0.036nF) and 0.015nF respectively. As capacitance has an inverse relationship with the resistance and impedance, thus at 3wt% the resistance (0.361M ohm) and impedance (0.36M ohm) values are low, which satisfies the relationship. The values of resistance and impedance of G-II are low when compared with the values of G-I and G-II. Great results and ECG waveform are achieved with 3wt% for G-II, which also uses less nanomaterials to produce such great ECG results. It was observed that even after using the electrodes for 5 days, the ECG signal did not degrade over time and no skin allergies were detected for any of the three groups. The ECG tracking system was developed on the concept of the Internet-of-Things (IoT) using various electronic hardware components and software solutions. The results from the fabricated electrodes were promising and were suitable for long-term, and continuous ECG monitoring.
