Graphene Electrodes on a Planar Cubic Silicon Carbide Long Term Implantable Neuronal Prosthetic Device

Tech ID: 10B087

Competitive Advantages

  •     High degrees of biocompatibility
  •     Physically and chemically resilient
  •     Large specific capacitance in electrolytic functions
  •     Double the surface area of carbon nanotubes
  •     Exceptional mechanical and electrical properties

Summary

Our inventors have developed an implantable neuronal prosthetic device using a combination of two novel materials cubic silicon carbide and graphene. This technology overcomes the problem of biocompatibility in long term implants. 3C-SiC and Graphene have excellent mechanical and electrical properties making it an valuable option to make neural prosthetic used for a brain machine interface (BMI) device.
