In the rapidly evolving landscape of flexible electronics and human-machine interfaces (HMI), the demand for high-performance soft materials has never been higher. To bridge the gap between rigid electronics and the soft, curved surfaces of the human body, a new class of conformable sensors is required—one that offers both electrical excellence and mechanical compliance.
Today, Wave Company is proud to present the latest performance data for ElecSil our proprietary conductive silicone that is setting new benchmarks for bioelectronics and body area sensor networks (BASN).
1. Visualizing Innovation: Breaking the 0.11 Ohm/sq Barrier
The following visualization illustrates the sheet resistance distribution of the ElecSil A+B surface.
This data highlights two critical competitive advantages of our technology:
Ultra-Low Sheet Resistance : As shown in the deep blue regions, ElecSil achieves a remarkable resistance level of 0.11 Ohm/sq. This minimizes signal loss and ensures that even the faintest electrical impulses are captured with absolute clarity.
Superior Spatial Uniformity: The consistent "Deep Blue" mapping across the entire surface proves that the electrical properties are stabilized at a structural level. In the world of bioelectronics, this uniformity is the difference between a clean signal and unusable noise.
2. Engineering the Interface: From Conformal Contact to High-Fidelity Sensing
The true value of ElecSil lies in its ability to serve as a reliable bridge to the human body. By meticulously optimizing the material's mechanical and electrical properties, we have addressed the core challenges of electrophysiology (ECG, EMG, etc.).
Conformal Contact & Low Modulus: To ensure high-quality signal acquisition, sensors must maintain seamless conformal contact with skin and biological tissues. ElecSil is engineered with an ultra-low modulus, providing the skin-like elasticity needed to eliminate motion artifacts and minimize contact impedance.
Reliable Electrophysiological Recording: Our material specifications—ranging from precise thickness control to optimized elasticity—serve as the gold standard for high-fidelity ECG and EMG measurements. This makes it an ideal substrate for sensors that require long-term stability without compromising user comfort.
3. The Future of Body Area Sensor Networks (BASN)
ElecSil A+B is more than just a conductive silicone; it is a foundational technology for the next generation of conformable sensors. Its unique combination of high conductivity and mechanical softness allows for:
Noise-Free Raw Data: The spatial uniformity virtually eliminates signal fluctuations, providing researchers and engineers with the cleanest possible data.
Scalable Manufacturing: Consistent electrical performance across large surface areas ensures high yields and reliable quality in mass production.
Versatile HMI Applications: From robotic skins to medical-grade wearable patches, ElecSil provides the robust interface needed for advanced human-machine interaction.
Conclusion: Excellence Starts at the Material Level
At Wave Company, we believe that the next breakthrough in technology starts with the materials we use. ElecSil represents our commitment to pushing the boundaries of what soft materials can achieve in the digital age.
