▎ 摘 要
NOVELTY - The method involves forming a graphene film (100) over a substrate (204). A polymer material covering a surface of the graphene film is deposited by gas phase deposition. The substrate is removed from the graphene film such that the polymer material forms a support (102) for the graphene film. The polymer material consists of a polymer from the n-xylylene family e.g. parylene. The removal of substrate from the graphene film is performed by a process of electrochemical delamination. USE - Method of forming medical device e.g. conductive medical patch used in wound treatment apparatus for treating wounds and/or administering medicine, ophthalmic element of eye protection device for shielding the eye from electromagnetic radiation such as microwaves, and implant (all claimed) e.g. needle-like element that is inserted into tissue of a human or animal body for purpose of protection, treatment, or diagnosis. ADVANTAGE - The parylene is capable of stretching by up to 200 percentage before breaking, and is capable of remaining flexible over a relatively wide temperature range. The combination of a graphene film and a polymer support provides a multi-layer that is relatively high electrical conductance while remaining flexible and strong. The transfer operation is not required and reduces the risk of degradement of properties of the graphene film. The graphene/polymer multi-layer enables to follow contours in the surface of the skin, including wrinkles. The graphene/polymer multi-layer covers the wound when the patch is removed, hence the damage caused to wound by the removal process is reduced, thereby reducing the chance of infection by leaving a barrier in place. The good electrical conductivity is achieved due to the graphene film, and the close electrical contact is maintained with the skin or tissue of the human or animal due to the polymer material. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a conductive medical patch. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawings show the cross-sectional views illustrating the formation of graphene device. Graphene film (100) Support (102) Substrate (204) Conformal layer (302)
