Mesh electrode for cardiac resynchronization therapy, and manufacturing method therefor

1. An apparatus for cardiac resynchronization therapy, comprising:

a mesh electrode that comprises:

a first biocompatible rubber layer with a first mesh shape in which silver nanowires are substantially homogenously dispersed; and

a portion of a second biocompatible rubber layer disposed on the first biocompatible rubber layer, the portion of the second biocompatible rubber layer having a second mesh shape, the first mesh shape being substantially the same as the second mesh shape.

2. The mesh electrode of claim 1 , wherein a length of the silver nanowires ranges from 5 μm to 50 μm, and a diameter of the silver nanowires ranges from 50 nm to 150 nm.

3. The mesh electrode of claim 1 , wherein the silver nanowires are ligand-exchanged silver nanowires.

4. The mesh electrode of claim 1 , wherein the first biocompatible rubber is selected from a group consisting of SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene) rubber, TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber), Hydrogel, PDMS polydimethylsiloxane), PUA (polyurethane acrylate), PVA (polyvinyl alcohol), silicone rubber, PI (polyimide), PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), PVDF (poly(vinylidenedifluoride)).

5. The mesh electrode of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the first biocompatible rubber layer ranges from 1 μm to 500 μm.

6. The mesh electrode of claim 1 , wherein the second biocompatible rubber is selected from a group consisting of SBS rubber, TPU, NBR, Hydrogel, PDMS, PUA, PVA, silicone rubber, PI, PMMA, PVDF.

7. The mesh electrode of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the second biocompatible rubber layer ranges from 1 μm to 500 μm.
