Laser-Induced Graphene on Biocompatible PDMS/PEG Composites for Limb Motion Sensing.

ABSTRACT: The advancement of laser-induced graphene (LIG) has significantly enhanced the development of wearable and flexible electronic devices. Due to its exceptional physical, chemical, and electronic properties, LIG has emerged as a highly effective active material for wearable sensors. However, despite the wide range of materials suitable as precursors for LIG, the scarcity of stretchable and biocompatible polymers amenable to laser graphenization has remained a persistent challenge. In this study, laser-induced graphene (LIG) was fabricated directly on biocompatible and flexible cross-linked PDMS/PEG (with M_n (PEG) = 400 g/mol) composites for the first time, enabling their application in wearable sensors. The addition of PEG compensates for the low carbon content in PDMS, enabling e
