Popis: Physiological sensor, one of the biomedical sensors, can detect human physiological features such as Heart Rate (HR), Finger Temperature (FT), Respiration Rate (RR), Carbon dioxide (CO2), Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) and so on. In order to produce highly portable and wearable devices, lightweight, flexible and conducting substrates are needed. The use of natural rubber and polymer has attracted interest from researchers. However, these substrates need to be incorporated with highly conducting materials such as graphene in order to overcome their insulation nature. This paper review the use of natural rubber and polymer, mixed with graphene produced by non-covalent method. The presence of graphene has greatly improved the electrical and thermal conducting of the nanocomposites. Thus become the leading candidate for the production of highly portable and wearable physiological sensors.
