A stretchable carbon nanotube strain sensor for human-motion detection

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors presented a wearable cotton fabric strain sensor uniformly decorated with single-walled carbon nanotubes through a facile solution process, which can not only monitor subtle and large multi-directional motions but also fit well to the human body with satisfactory comfort, demonstrating its potential application in wearable electronics and intelligent clothing.

TL;DR: This review aims to provide systematical correlation of the conducting element-substrate interaction with the structural stability of conducting networks, as well as the properties and device applications of STCs.

TL;DR: By using long single-walled carbon nanotubes that possess a high aspect ratio and small diameter as fillers, the authors introduced electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding to a fluorinated rubber without hardening and embrittling it.

TL;DR: In this paper , the performance parameters of the sensors, including sensitivity, stretchability, linearity, hysteresis, dynamic durability, and transparency, are discussed comprehensively and the future challenges of CNT flexible strain sensors are summarized and the outlook is presented.

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.
