Ultrasensitive MWCNT/PDMS composite strain sensor fabricated by laser ablation process

Flexible ultrasensitive piezoresistive strain sensors were fabricated by CO2 Laser ablating of the surface of the multiwall carbon nanotube/polydimethylsiloxane (MWCNT/PDMS) composite film prepared by a coating process. The effects of the MWCNT content and the applied laser power on the electrical a...

description Flexible ultrasensitive piezoresistive strain sensors were fabricated by CO2 Laser ablating of the surface of the multiwall carbon nanotube/polydimethylsiloxane (MWCNT/PDMS) composite film prepared by a coating process. The effects of the MWCNT content and the applied laser power on the electrical and sensing performances of the MWCNT/PDMS composite strain sensor were systematically investigated. It is found that, after laser ablating, the electrical conductivity and the sensing gauge factor of the MWCNT/PDMS film were greatly improved only by the addition of 1.0 wt% of MWCNT, which is below the percolation threshold of the MWCNT in the PDMS matrix. A novel boscage-like structure at the surface of the film formed by the ablation of the PDMS and the rearrangement of the MWCNT during the laser ablating process was found responsible for the ultrahigh gauge factor of the composite strain sensor, which is about 513 at the strain of 5.0%. The facile and cost-effective fabrication process of the flexible ultrasensitive strain sensor could be simply extended to other polymer composites for the development of new multifunctional and wearable electronic devices.
