A stretchable carbon nanotube strain sensor for human-motion detection

TL;DR: A new e-skin sensor fabricated by introducing polyvinylpyrrolidone-capped Ag nanowires into the chemically and physically cross-linked polyacrylamide-PVP double-network ethylene glycol organogel exhibits extreme stretchability, autonomous self-healing, as well as mechanical compliance and shows great promise in wearable electronics, biomedical devices, and soft robotics.

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel graphene strain sensor, whose structure contains a carefully selected graphene foam (GF) and polyacrylamide/calcium-alginate (PAM/CA) double network hydrogel coupled with chitosan, can meet the above requirements to the maximum extent.

TL;DR: This article presents recent research trends and approaches in the field of flexible and stretchable multimodal sensors for e-skin focusing on the following aspects: operating principles and materials suitable for pressure, temperature, strain, photograph, and hairy sensor devices.

TL;DR: In this article, hybrid composites of a new type of carbon nanofiller, carbon nanostructures (CNS, i.e., branched carbon nanotubes) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) at various compositions were mixed with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) to tune the composite dielectric properties.

TL;DR: Water-stimulated enhanced catalytic activity results in massive growth of superdense and vertically aligned nanotube forests with heights up to 2.5 millimeters that can be easily separated from the catalysts, providing nanotubes material with carbon purity above 99.98%.

TL;DR: This dense carbon-nanotube material is advantageous for numerous applications, and here it is demonstrated its use as flexible heaters as well as supercapacitor electrodes for compact energy-storage devices.

TL;DR: The manufacture of printable elastic conductors comprising single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) uniformly dispersed in a fluorinated rubber is described, which is constructed a rubber-like stretchable active-matrix display comprising integrated printed elastic conductor, organic transistors and organic light-emitting diodes.

TL;DR: A simple approach to high-performance, stretchable, and foldable integrated circuits that integrate inorganic electronic materials, including aligned arrays of nanoribbons of single crystalline silicon, with ultrathin plastic and elastomeric substrates.
