Resistive Pressure Sensor with Carbon Nanotube Electrodes towards Flexible Electronics Applications

Palumbo A., Zhang R., Yan K., Yang E.H., Chen S., Hader G., Chang J., Yang E.H., Stevens Institute of Technology, US

Here, we present a flexible and stretchable pressure sensor composed of vertically aligned CNTs (VACNTs) partially embedded in a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate. VACNTs were grown via chemical vapor deposition and transferred onto PDMS as a [...]

A Stretching/Bending-Insensitive Flexible Pressure Sensor with Carbon Nanotube-PDMS

Zhang R., Stevens Institute of Technology, US

Flexible pressure sensors have many successful applications in personal electronic devices, artificially intelligence, and industrial production applications [1]. Despite the good performance and high flexibility, the measurement of pressure under dynamic deformation has remained difficult [...]
