Abstract
A bioelectrode and a method for producing the bioelectrode are provided. The bioelectrode has a non-complicated structure, satisfactory elasticity, and is capable of preventing an increase of contact impedance due to an increase of the number of times of usage. The bioelectrode includes a support member, which is an electrically conductive member, and at least one electrode member, which is a member projecting from the support member. At least the electrode member is molded from an electrically conductive rubber containing a silicone rubber and treated metal particles containing a crosslinkable functional group on a surface thereof.
Claims6
A bioelectrode comprising:
- a support member, which is an electrically conductive member;
- and
- at least one electrode member, which is a member projecting from the support member,
- wherein at least the electrode member is molded from an electrically conductive rubber, the electrically conductive rubber containing a silicone rubber and metal particles containing a crosslinkable functional group that is chemically bonded to the metal particles by a silane coupling agent,
- wherein the crosslinkable functional group is at least one group selected from the group consisting of hydrolyzable silyl group, a (meth)acryloyl group, a ureide group, an isocyanurate group, and isocyanate group, and an epoxy group, and
- wherein, in the electrically conductive rubber, a content of the metal particles containing the crosslinkable functional group is within a range of 50 to 500 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the silicone rubber.
