Ltd.10.26689/JERA.v10i8.15203ArticleExploration of the Application Value of Flexible Carbon Nanotube Electromyography Electrodes in Health Monitoringhttps://artdesignp.com/journal/JERA/10/8/10.26689/JERA.v10i8.15203SongLi,SunJingjing20261082026-09-03The development of wearable devices has posed new requirements for surface electromyography (EMG) electrodes, including long-term, comfortable, and high-fidelity signal acquisition. Traditional Ag/AgCl wet electrodes suffer from limitations such as skin irritation and signal attenuation. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), with their excellent conductivity, flexibility, and biocompatibility, have emerged as ideal materials for constructing flexible dry EMG electrodes. This paper systematically reviews the material properties, preparation strategies, and signal acquisition performance of flexible CNT EMG electrodes, analyzes their application value in scenarios such as muscle function assessment, gesture recognition, motion monitoring, and multimodal integrated monitoring, discusses challenges such as scalable preparation, long-term stability, and standardized evaluation, and looks forward to directions such as self-powered systems, artificial intelligence integration, and smart textiles. This paper suggests that the electrode is expected to become the core sensing element of the next generation of wearable health monitoring systems, promoting the clinical translation of non-invasive monitoring technologies.Carbon nanotubes, Flexible electrodes, Electromyography signals, Health monitoring Classification Code: G712 Document Code: A
