Fig. 3

a Tunable electrical anisotropies controlled by applied prestrains on the x and y axes. SEM images of crumpled anisotropic conductive surfaces formed by applying prestrains of εx = 100% and εy = 0 (b) and εx = 150% and εy = 40% (c). Scale bars: 100 µm. Here, PEDOT:PSS is coated as surface conductive layers. d Electrophysiological sensors and bioelectrical stimulators based on the anisotropic elastomer composites. Scale bar: 1 cm. e EMGs (top) recorded from the related muscle (flexor digitorum superficialis) during programed electrical stimulations (bottom). f Continuous ECG recording from the human chest. g Magnified ECG signal, indicating clear P-wave, QRS complex, and T-wave. Direct comparisons (h) and Bland-Altman analysis with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) (i) of ECGs recorded using electrophysiological sensors based on anisotropic elastomer composites (red curve in h) and conventional Ag/AgCl gel electrodes (black curve in h).
