Abstract
Disclosed is a carbon material for a neurostimulation electrode. The carbon material is composed of a carbon fiber. The carbon fiber has a thickness of 1 to 1000 μm, a linear density of 0.01 to 5.00 g/cm, and an aspect ratio of 100 to 1,000,000. Particularly, the carbon fiber material can be obtained by dry spinning carbon nanotubes, followed by liquid-based densification. The carbon material can be used in the fields of deep brain stimulation, spinal cord stimulation, etc. Also disclosed are an electrode assembly and a neurostimulation device, each including the carbon material.
