Self-monitoring and self-correcting polymer fibers coated with carbon nanotubes

Bandaging, which has been used either to support a medical device such as a dressing or splint, or on its own to provide support to the body or restrict the motion of a part of the body, is further studied in our work in the form of multifunctional materials for self-monitoring and self-correcting by integration with carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Here, modified polymer fibers for bandages can be fabricated from fibers of commercially available...
