Abstract:
To improve the electrical performance and biocompatibility of the deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrode-tissue interface, DC electrophoretic deposition of multi-walled carbon nanotubes to modify electrode is proposed. The stainless steel plate and copper electrode are connected to the anode and cathode of DC power supply, and put into the suspension of MWCNTs prepared after purification and functionalization. The multi-walled carbon nanotubes can be deposited on the stainless steel plate by setting voltage and electrophoresis time. The electrophoretic deposition process, stability and material composition of multi-walled carbon nanotubes film formed by electrophoretic deposition is investigated and the biological characters of modified electrodes are evaluated. The results show that the best combination parameters of the electrophoretic deposition of multi-walled carbon nanotubes are 20 V and 7 min. 20-100 nm carbon nanotube film can be formed on the electrode surface by electrophoretic deposition, the film with good continuity and high purity and without cracks is endowed with good biocompatibility and electrochemical stability, but it is suggested to strengthen the mechanical stability. This strategy ensures the biocompatibility of electrode-tissue interface and effectively avoids degradation of electrode electrical properties. © 2019, Editorial Office of Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University.
