Abstract

This paper reports a wide range-sensitive, bending-insensitive pressure sensor based on a carbon nanotube (CNT)-coated porous elastomer for a wearable healthcare application. (1) Sensing performance was evaluated over ∼1MPa, which includes whole human tactile and body weight levels. The sensor exhibits a very wide sensing range from ultralow to high pressure (50Pa-1MPa) with maintenance of favorable sensitivity and reliable dynamic responses. (2) To our knowledge this is the first to investigate bending-insensitivity of the CNTs-coated porous PDMS, which facilitates accurate detection of normal pressures even on curved surfaces like human skins. (3) Finally, we demonstrated a foot insole for real-time monitoring of foot plantar pressure distribution.
