Abstract

Our recent achievements in the design, processing and studies of physical properties of elastomer – nanostructured carbon composites as prospective compressive strain sensor materials for robotic tactile elements are presented. Composites made of polyisoprene matrix and high-structured carbon black or multi-wall carbon nano-tube filler have been designed and manufactured to develop completely flexible conductive polymer nano-composites for tactile sensing elements. Electrical resistance of the composites as a function of mechanical strain and pressure is studied.
