Definitions
- the invention relates to polymeric materials that are used to conduct electrical signals, and relates in particular to conductive adhesives that are used with medical momtoring sensors that are placed directly on a patient, such as an electro-cardiogram (EKG) sensor.
- EKG electro-cardiogram
- Such substances must be isolated from the environment prior to use (e.g., in sealed packages), and may function improperly if allowed to lose water from the conductive material. These limitations adversely affect both the cost of sensors that use such conductive adhesives as well as the amount of use that any particular sensor may enjoy.
- the invention provides an alternating current responsive composite.
- the composite includes a polymeric material and a polar material that is substantially dispersed within the polymeric material.
- the polar material is responsive to the presence of an alternating current.
- the polar material includes an organic salt and the polymeric material includes a pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive.
- Figure 1 shows an illustrative diagrammatic view of a composite in accordance with an embodiment of the invention
- Figure 2 shows an illustrative diagrammatic top view of a monitoring sensor using a composite in accordance with an embodiment of the invention
- Figure 3 shows an illustrative diagrammatic side view of the monitoring sensor shown in Figure 2 taken along line 3 - 3 thereof;
- Figures 4A shows an illustrative diagrammatic graphical representation of a patent signal being monitored by a conventional hydro-gel sensor
- Figures 4B show illustrative diagrammatic graphical representation of a patent signal being monitored by a sensor in accordance with an embodiment of the invention
- Figures 4C shows an illustrative diagrammatic graphical representation of a patent signal being monitored by a sensor including a polymeric material but no polar material;
- Figure 5 shows an illustrative diagrammatic top view of a conductor pad using a composite in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 6 shows an illustrative diagrammatic side view of the conductor pad shown in Figure 5 taken along line 6 - 6 thereof.
- the drawings are shown for illustrative purposes and are not to scale.
- a polar material such as an organo salt
- a polymeric material of sufficient concentration that the resulting composite may be responsive to the presence of an alternating current yet not be sensitive to water gain or loss from ambient temperature or humidity conditions.
- a composite 10 may include an organo salt 12 that is dispersed within a polymeric material 14. If the organo salt 12 has crystallized out of the polymeric material or has bloomed to the surface, then the salt is not compatible with that given polymer, thus the non-homogenous system will not respond to pick up the alternating current signal.
- the salt becomes dissolved within the polymeric material (rendering the polymeric material clear)
- the two materials are compatible, and a substantially homogenous mixture exists to form the desired alternating current responsive blend.
- the salt When the salt is compatible with the polymer blend, it responds to the rise of an alternating current signal by orienting with the field then returning to a ground state with the collapse of the alternating current field. By responding to the presence of an electric field, therefore, the composite acts as a capacitor in coupling the signal (within a patient) to a sensor.
- a suitable combination of polar material and polymeric material may be identified by the following procedure. First, a polar material is combined with the polymeric material in about five different concentrations (typically between about 5% to about 45% by weight).
- the adhesive - salt composite is drawn onto a release liner (of about 1.5 mil), and permitted to dry and cure.
- the surface of the composite is then inspected after a short period of time. If the salt has crystallized out or bloomed to the surface, then the combination of components is not compatible. If, on the other hand, the composite is clear, it is subject to the next level of compatibility testing.
- the samples should then be subjected an exposure test in which the samples are exposed to 100F with 95% relative humidity for 3 days.
- the samples are then again inspected to determine whether the polar material has migrated toward either surface. If there has been no migration of the polar material and the composite is clear, then the dielectric constant for the composite is determined and the composite is tested for use as a medical monitoring material.
- the dielectric constant for example, may be at least 50 for signals at 200 Hz.
- the polymeric material may include an acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive such as the V-95 acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive sold by FLEXcon Corporation of Spencer, Massachusetts.
- the polar material may include a quaternary ammonium organo salt such as the CHEMAX AS-3106 sold by Chemax Corporation of Beaumont, Texas.
- the percentage by weight of the polar material in the composite may for example, range from about 5% to about 65%, and preferably ranges from about 10% to about 35%.
- the composite 10 may be used with medical diagnostic sensor pads in which a metallic contact element 16 is surrounded by the composite 10 and coupled to monitoring equipment via a conductor 18.
- the element 16 and composite 10 are positioned within an adhesive plolyethylene foam carrier 20.
- the sensor pad is placed on a patient's skin and internal alternating current signals (such as a heart rate) are received by the element 16 through the composite 10 and coupled to the monitoring equipment.
- the composite 10 may be used in a wide variety of other uses, including for example, other diagnostic sensors, as well as applications in fuel cell technology, battery technology, electro luminescence, or any other application in which an electrical current and/or signal is carried through an electrolyte that has at it's source a dependence on water.
- Composites of the invention are insensitive to the presence or absence of water vapor, and therefore, do not require high levels of maintenance of certain levels of water in packaging and during use. It has been discovered that the shortcomings of having an electrolyte dependent on the presence of water vapor are avoided by using for example organo-salts (quaternary ammonium salts, organo-sulfates, fiuoroboarates, and other salt like materials having some organic functionality).
- the organic functionality facilitates the salt's organic compatibility with the polymeric material.
- Organic compatability may not be required when a polymer has compatibility with a purely inorganic salt, e.g., Cesium Iodide.
- An objective is to provide a polar material such as salt that is at least substantially uniformly dispersed throughout the polymeric material.
- the water insensitive electrolytic may then respond to an ascending / collapsing electric field via a capacitive coupling.
- the sensitivity is towards alternating current (AC) rather than direct current (DC).
- the composite therefore, may even be more effective at detecting an AC signal than carrying an electrical current.
- composites of the invention may be used in place of electrolytic gels such as hydro-gels in cardiac monitoring pads.
- the monitoring pad with a composite of the invention described above was used to monitor a person's heart rate and the received signal was compared to signals received using a conventional hydro-gel electrolyte and using the polymeric material without doping with a polar material.
- the received signal using a composite of the invention (as shown at 24 in Figure 4A) provided a nearly identical signal as the conventional hydro-gel electrolyte sensor (as shown at 22 in Figure 4A).
- Figure 4C shows that the received signal 26 using the polymeric material alone provided no discemable signal information.
- a conductor pad for use in medical applications may include a composite 30 of the invention that is sufficiently adhesive that no additional adhesive is required to maintain contact between a patient's skin and the pad.
- the alternating current field is then coupled to the patient via the composite 30 via the capacitive coupling characteristics of the composite.
- a supporting material 34 may also be used to provide structural integrity.
- Composites of certain embodiments of the invention have also been tested at varying humidity and over extended periods of time and found to exhibit an insignificant amount of change in performance.
- the hydro-gel has a capacitance in both high ( ⁇ 10kHz) and low (-200
- the doped adhesive of an embodiment of the invention has a more pronounced capacitance that varies with frequency effect from about 230 Pico-farads at 10 kHz to about 1 microfarad at 200 Hz.
- the dielectric constant K must, therefore, be changing with frequency. In fact, at 10kHz it is discovered that K is about 10, and at 200Hz, K is about 10,000 or above. When the K is lower the resistance increases, which requires that the pad impedance and matching impedance of the monitoring equipment must be increased.
- the polymeric material may include various polymeric materials such as acrylic adhesives that may be distinguished by the relative composition of their monomers and by their molectular weights.
- acrylic adhesives such as the DURO-TAK 80-1074 acrylic adhesive, the DURO-TAK 80-136A acrylic adhesive, or the DURO-TAK 87-2852 acrylic adhesive each of which sold by National Starch and Chemical Co. of Bridgewater, New Jersey may be used as the polymeric material.
- the polar material may include organo-sulfonium, organic ester salts, organo-metallic materials, organo-borates, phosphates and phosfites etc.
- the polar material may include a quatemium 18 & isopropyl alcohol (such as the ARQUAD 2HT-75 product), dicocodimoium chloride & isopropyl alcohol (such as the ARQUAD 2C-75 product), stearyl octyldimonium methosulfate (such as the ARQUAD HTL8-MS product) each of which is sold by Akzo Nobel Surface Chemistry LLC of Chicago, Illinois, or PEG-5 cocomonium chloride (such as the ETHOQUAD C/25 product sold by Brenntag N.V. of Deerlijk, Belgium).
- Suitable further specific combinations of polymeric materials and salts are provided in the following table using the above product names.
- Composites of the invention may be employed in a wide variety of applications involving the coupling of alternating current electrical activity from one location to another, such as other applications involving the monitoring of electrical activity, or the active application of electrical activity, or even the grounding of undesired electrical activity in, for example, conductive housings.
