It is difficult to simultaneously achieve both moderate adhesion to the skin and strong adhesion to a wearable device, but a new polyurethane pressure-sensitive adhesive is providing a solution.
Wearable devices are used in medicine to continuously monitor signals such as electrocardiograms and electroencephalograms. They can also be used to monitor physical conditions during exercise. To improve the accuracy of the analysis, many studies have been conducted by directly attaching wearable devices to the skin using a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) sheet.
