Stretchable Strain Sensor Based on Areal Change of Carbon Nanotube Electrode

Abstract: Conventional strain sensors measure strains exerted on solid metals and have been widely applied. Stretch measurements of flexible objects require strain sensors with wide dynamic range (stretch exceeding 100%) that can also measure areal changes. Flexible strain sensors are expected to realize a wide range of technologies, such as human interfaces, smart clothes, skin-motion monitoring, and robotic skin. Recently, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been assembled into stretchable conductors, and are potential base … Show more

“…The sandwiched carbon-nanotube membranes are effectively a parallel-plate capacitor, the capacitance of which changes as the strain sensor expands and contracts. Hence, the strain sensor works as a variable capacitor, accurate to within 5% of its range [23]. The elastomer sheets are 70 mm long and 15 mm wide.…”

“…Compared with conventional rigid antennas, the uncertainties have a much stronger influence on the performance of the antenna along with the non-uniform changes under deformation [11][12][13]. Therefore, the substrate fabrication has been steadily operated with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) or other stretchable materials to be firmly attached to the surface of rough structures [14]. Unfortunately, however, considering the roughness would bring extremely increased computational costs as well as total number of design variables (DVs).…”

“…We also proposed a stretchable strain sensor. The strain sensor is thin and lightweight and stretches up to 200% [16]. The combination of the 3D printer and the flexible sensor provides rapid prototyping human interfaces.…”
