제목 Adaptive damage-durable electronic epineurium for long-term stable soft neuroprosthetics
초록 Soft neuroprosthetics capable of monitoring sensory signals and delivering feedback motor information have pursued the perfect replacement for damaged nerves. Although such efforts have been made to the long-term stability of the peripheral neural interfaces, nerve compression and device fatigue issues still remain challenging due to the lack of optimal materials that simultaneously meet tissue-device modulus matching, biocompatibility, and electrical/mechanical self-recovery. Here, we report an adaptive self-recoverable electronic epineurium that can prevent its electrical degradation induced by repetitive deformation. Such performances originate from its unique mechanical properties: i) spontaneous rearrangement of Au nanoshell-coated Ag flakes dispersed in a self-healing polymer and ii) dynamic stress relaxation of the electronic epineurium enabling its mechanical adaptation to nerve modulus. Finally, we successfully demonstrate stable bidirectional neural recording and stimulation.
