A composition providing electrically conductive adhesive hydrogels used as skin contact adhesives and an electrical interface for disposable medical devices. The hydrogels are cationic acrylates and are mad e from acrylic esters of quaternary chlorides and/or sulfates or acrylic amides of quaternary chlorides. The present hydrogels are formed by free radical polymerization in the presence of water by ultraviolet curing with initiator and multifunctional cross-linking agent, a nd include a buffer system to prevent discoloration, hydrolysis of and improve shelf-life of the hydrogels. Other additives may be added to the hydrogels either before or after curing, depending on the intended end use. The present hydrogels hydrate a subject's skin, wet around skin surface hair and protect against burning of a subject due to electrical stimulation through the hydrogel. The hydrogels, cohesiveness enables direct hydrogel-to-hydrogel contact and storage, yet remain readily separable. The hydrogels may be presented in a formula which is noncorrosive to aluminum in contact therewith, and pass standards testing for biocompatibility and electrical properties.
