Development of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Strain Sensor for Detecting Human Motion by Japanese Researchers
June 6, 2011 · Filed Under Trendy Products · Comments Off
Group of Japanese researchers at AIST have successfully developed a strain sensor with oriented single-walled carbon nanotubes (single-walled CNT) films. The sensor films are bonded to a stretchable polymer substrate which can measure strains by detecting changes in the electrical resistance of the films. The CNT stain sensor is capable of detecting of up to 280%, around 50 times of what can be detected by conventional metal strain sensors. Read more
