- Abstract
This paper describes a double-layer simplified sensor unit with interesting electromechanical properties, which consists of a film made from multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) mixed by polymer composite and a thin film of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). It is envisaged to imitate the distributed tactile receptors of human hands so as to help the disabled to recover the basic tactile perception. This paper shows the fabrication and performance research of such a new piezoelectric-piezoresistive composite material, which indicates a promising application in prosthetic hand.
