Abstract
High-performance sensors play a crucial role in smart wearable technology and human–machine interaction. However, traditional metal- and silicon-based sensors face drawbacks, including limited flexibility, high cost, degradation issues, and insufficient sensitivity. Conductive composite fibers were produced using the spinning solution of PAN and PVB mixed with CNTs and spun at a flow rate of 20 mL·h–1. PAN-CNTs fiber felt formed a sandwich structure by impregnating CNTs aqueous solution, mechanical pressing, and coating graphene. A cost-effective PAN-CNTs nanofiber-based pressure sensor (PCPS) was developed, demonstrating excellent flexibility, conductivity, sensitivity, mechanical properties, and biocompatibility. Nanofiber-based pressure sensors exhibited high sensitivity, with an approximately 75% relative resistance change under a 1 N pressure load. They can withstand 360° bending and have a rapid response time of about 160 ms. PCPS holds significant potential for flexible electronics, smart wearables, and micropressure detection.
期刊介绍:
Langmuir is an interdisciplinary journal publishing articles in the following subject categories:
Colloids: surfactants and self-assembly, dispersions, emulsions, foams
Interfaces: adsorption, reactions, films, forces
Biological Interfaces: biocolloids, biomolecular and biomimetic materials
Materials: nano- and mesostructured materials, polymers, gels, liquid crystals
Electrochemistry: interfacial charge transfer, charge transport, electrocatalysis, electrokinetic phenomena, bioelectrochemistry
Devices and Applications: sensors, fluidics, patterning, catalysis, photonic crystals
However, when high-impact, original work is submitted that does not fit within the above categories, decisions to accept or decline such papers will be based on one criteria: What Would Irving Do?
Langmuir ranks #2 in citations out of 136 journals in the category of Physical Chemistry with 113,157 total citations. The journal received an Impact Factor of 4.384*.
This journal is also indexed in the categories of Materials Science (ranked #1) and Multidisciplinary Chemistry (ranked #5).
