摘要

Abstract

Wearable smart devices and soft robot equipment gain fast development these years

common rigid sensing devices cannot adapt to various complex deformation test environments

so flexible electromechanical sensing substances become a widely studied subject. Silicone rubber acts as flexible base body for conductive elastic composites

carbon materials work as conductive filling particles

these substances turn mechanical signals into electrical signals relying on piezoresistive characteristics

they own balanced stretch ability and electric conductivity

so staff widely apply them to test flexible pressure and strain values. This text studies three kinds of single carbon filling particles including carbon black

carbon nanotubes and graphene

it also talks about composite filler systems with multiple components

the paper sorts out manufacturing ways and sensing properties of these composite substances

and it compares strong points and weak points of different filler systems in sensitivity

repeated use durability and temperature adaptability.
