Silver Nanowire Composite Sensor Data for Wearable Skin Hydration Monitoring

A dataset supporting research on self-healing silver nanowire/polyborosiloxane composite electrodes for wearable sensors. The data, authored by Bob Schroeder and last updated in April 2026, includes electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results and material property measurements validating a skin hydration sensor's performance, including real-time tracking during exercise.

Use Cases

• Modeling the electrical recovery of self-healing composites based on the 77% conductivity restoration within 24 hours.
• Analyzing sensor adhesion performance in wet conditions based on comparisons to commercial ECG patches.
• Correlating electrochemical impedance spectroscopy data with skin hydration levels for validation.
• Studying the mechanical properties of wearable substrates based on the ~240 kPa Young's modulus and ~600% stretchability.

Strengths

• Includes specific material property measurements: ~240 kPa Young's modulus and ~600% stretchability.
• Quantifies self-healing performance: full mechanical recovery within 3 hours and 77% electrical conductivity restoration within 24 hours.
• Data validated via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy for accurate hydration sensing.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
