"Stretchable hybrid response pressure sensors"

Matter by Cell Press

Touch-sensitive stretchable electronic skins (e-skins) hold promise for soft robots, prosthetics, bio-mimetics, and bio-sensors. However, a long-standing challenge has been the interference of stretching in pressure readings. Addressing this, we introduce an intrinsically stretchable hybrid response pressure sensor (SHRPS) composed of a laminate featuring a barely conductive porous nanocomposite and an ultrathin dielectric layer situated between two stretchable electrodes.
