Towards Long-Term Stable Polyimide-Based Flexible Electrical Insulation for Chronically Implanted Neural Electrodes

Micromachines, 2021
For chronic applications of flexible neural implants, e.g., intracortical probes, the flexible substrate material has to encapsulate the electrical conductors with a long-term stability against the saline environment of the neural tissue.
