Request a sales quoteCarbon nanomaterials have become a valuable resource in our electronic materials toolbox for applications requiring mechanically flexible systems for photovoltaics, electronics, sensing, and energy storage/harvesting, largely due to their superior mechanical stability, versatility, and tunability. Since the development of carbon nanostructures, such as graphene, carbon-based electronics have been intensely studied at both the fundamental level as well as the industrial and commercial applications and have revolutionized wearable and foldable sensing technologies. These advances have led to a rapid growth in the carbon-based wearable sensing market, capitalizing on the inexpensive and textile-integrated applications of carbon nanomaterials.
This book summarizes different mechanisms of sensing using flexible electronics and presents newer studies on the piezoresistive, piezocapacitive, and piezoelectric properties of sensors. In addition, this book details the conditions that sensors can respond to, such as mechanical deformations, environmental conditions, and chemicals, that will be of use in various applications. The final chapters present an outlook to the future directions in the field, such as self-powered sensors and wireless communication, especially for applications involving real-time monitoring of human body performance, diagnosis and disease.
This is an important reference source for materials scientists, materials engineers and electrical engineers who are seeking to increase their unsteadying of how carbon-based nanomaterials are being used to create higher performing, more reliable and less expensive devices for health montiroing.
