Abstract
An embodiment provides a flexible conductor that is flexible and conductive by mixing a conductive polymer, PEDOT-PSS, with a polymer material, polyurethane (PU), and a surfactant, and a method for manufacturing the same. The flexible conductor possesses both self-adhesive and self-healing properties, along with a cell viability of 80% or more, and is biocompatible.
Claims8
A flexible conductor comprising:
- polyurethane;
- PEDOT:PSS;
- and
- a plasticizer,
- wherein the plasticizer includes polyethylene glycol tert-octylphenyl ether,
- wherein the flexible conductor comprises 10 to 40 parts by weight of the PEDOT:PSS and 10 to 50 parts by weight of the plasticizer, with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyurethane, and
- wherein a conductivity of the flexible conductor is more than 40 S/cm, and a stretchability of the flexible conductor is more than 600%.
