Highly sensitive and flexible wearable pressure sensor with dielectric elastomer and carbon nanotube electrodes

摘要

Wearable sensors for tracking human body motion are being increasingly applied in medical systems and are considered important components of human-machine interfaces. This study proposes a flexible sandwich-like capacitive pressure sensor that consists of carbon nanotube-polydimethylsiloxane (CNT-PDMS) composite electrodes and a porous polymer dielectric layer.
