In this paper flexible printed electrodes applicable to wearable electronics are presented. Using innovative materials as Laser Induced Graphene (LIG) and printed electronics, three type of electrodes based in LIG, silver chloride and carbon inks have been compared during the acquisition of bipotentials as electrocardiogram, electromyogram and electrooculogram. For this last one, a completely new framework for acquisition have been developed. This framework is based in a printed patch which integers 6 electrodes for the EOG acquisitions and an ad-hoc signal processing to detect the direction and amplitude of the eye movement. The performance of the developed electrodes have been compared with commercial ones using the characteristics parameters of each signal as comparative variables. The results obtained for the flexible electrodes have shown a similar performance than the commercial electrodes with an improvement in the comfort of the user.
