Healthcare devices like wearable electronics, body sensors, bionic prostheses, and massage tools rely on key features: electrical conductivity, elasticity, and softness. These devices must deliver accurate data and signals to and from the human body without causing discomfort and irritation or leaving marks on the skin.
Graphene nanotubes ensure RoHS compliance, provide precise conductivity for accurate sensor measurements, and maintain flexibility and softness — all without compromising skin comfort and device durability.
Thanks to the unique morphology and characteristics of graphene nanotubes, they provide stable conductive properties to silicone. The granted electrical conductivity enables the precise delivery of electronic impulses to and from the human body, ensuring accurate diagnostics and effective treatment without causing skin contamination.
Ultralow working dosages — dozens of times lower than those of other conductive additives — preserve the final product’s softness and color while maintaining standard processing conditions without generating carbon dust or drastically increasing viscosity.
