Wearable Pressure/Touch Sensors Based on Hybrid Dielectric Composites of Zinc Oxide Nanowires/Poly(dimethylsiloxane) and Flexible Electrodes of Immobilized Carbon Nanotube Random Networks

Capacitive-type physical sensors based on hybrid dielectric composites of zinc oxide nanowires/poly(dimethylsiloxane) (ZnO NWs@PDMS) and flexible electrodes of immobilized carbon nanotube (CNT) random networks, which are highly sensitive to pressure and touch stimuli, are demonstrated. Immobilized CNT random networks densely entangled in a Nafion matrix improve the electrical stability of wearable pressure sensors against mechanical stress with...
