Abstract:Electromechanical sensors obtained by electrospun mats have a high surface area and porosity, allowing superior flexibility and sensitivity of response to the sensor. Based on this context, in this work, electrospun mats based on thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and multi‐wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are produced by electrospinning. The electrical resistivity under different compressive stress levels is evaluated in recurring loading and unloading cycles. Incorporating MWCNT increases the elastic modulus and… Show more
