Nanocomposite tensoresistive elements based on carbon nanomaterials for wearable electronics

The investigation focused on the potential application of flexible electrically conductive elements in the domain of wearable electronics and motor activity monitoring, encompassing the use in limbs, gesture recognition, and diagnostics of temporomandibular joint movements. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes, when incorporated into a biopolymer matrix, were utilized as an active electrically conductive layer. To create nanocomposite tensoresistive elements, the active layer was formed between flexible soft silicone substrates. The structural characteristics of the developed elements were investigated, electrical conductivity and mechanical properties were evaluated, and their performance for various biomedical applications was verified.
