TOUGH AND STRETCHABLE STRAIN SENSOR BASED ON CARBON NANOTUBE-MOLYBDENUM DISULFIDE REINFORCED SILICONE RUBBER NANOCOMPOSITES

초록

This work presents a silicone nanocomposite-based strain sensor that is reinforced by carbon nanotube (CNT) and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). Incorporation of the multiwalled CNTs inside the silicone rubber matrix increases an elastic modulus and tensile strength, while the addition of MoS, nanolayers increases a fracture strain, eventually improving a tensile toughness of the nanocomposite. At the same time, percolation network is formed by the embedded nanomaterials, which can be applicable for tough and stretchable strain sensor. Experimental results demonstrate the improvement of toughness and the stable strain measurement up to 185% of tensile loading.
