Figure 1. Fabrication of MWCNT-silicone elastomer nanocomposite based multidimensional strain sensor.

Figure 1

Schematic illustration of (a) preparation of liquid MWCNT-silicone elastomer nanocomposite and (b) injection molding into 3D printed plastic mold. (c) Photography of fabricated hemisphere and square shaped strain sensor. (d) Electrical resistivity of MWCNT-silicone elastomer nanocomposite vs. volume fraction of the MWCNT. (e) Deformation of strain sensor under pinching and bending. (f) SEM images showing randomly dispersed MWCNTs in the silicone elastomer matrix.
