Layers of different materials, including nanocomposites, containing carbon nanotubes,
with the tensoresistive properties are discussed. The investigated layers are divided into two
groups: without (group I) and with carbon nanotubes (group II). A group-I material that is the
most suitable for fabrication of a tensoresistor is the elastomer with microchannel, filled with a
conductive liquid. In group II, these are the (0.2 - 10)-µm-thick layers consisting of the
carboxymethylcellulose matrix, filled with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (~5 wt.%). The
investigated layers can be used as alternative tensoresistors for medical applications.
Keywords: carbon nanotubes; carboxymethylcellulose; nanocomposite layer; tensoresistor. |
