摘      要：In this work,we report a class of wearable,stitchable,and sensitive carbon nanofiber(CNF)-polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS)composite-based piezoresistive sensors realized by carbonizing electrospun polyacrylonitrile(PAN)nanofibers and subsequently embedding in PDMS elastomeric thin ***-mechanical tactile sensing characterization of the resulting piezoresistive strain sensors revealed a linear response with an average force sensitivity of~1.82 kN−1 for normal forces up to 20 *** real-time functionality of the CNF-PDMS composite sensors in wearable body sensor networks and advanced bionic skin applications was demonstrated through human motion and gesture monitoring experiments.A skin-inspired artificial soft sensor capable of demonstrating proprioceptive and tactile sensory perception utilizing CNF bundles has been ***,a 16-point pressure-sensitive flexible sensor array mimicking slow adapting low threshold mechanoreceptors of glabrous skin was *** devices in tandem with neuromorphic circuits can potentially recreate the sense of touch in robotic arms and restore somatosensory perception in amputees.
