Development of stretchable strain sensor using elastic fibrous membrane coated with conducting polymer

Recently, much attention has been drawn to stretchable or flexible electronic sensors for measuring input pressure or deformation on movable and arbitrarily shaped objects. In this research, as a preliminary study for developing a new stretchable stain sensor, we designed an experimental system for applying strain and measuring conductance change. The results show that the developed membrane has a great potential to measure strain and stress applied to the membrane with high sensitivity.
