Multifaceted sensors based on conductive nanocomposites

Abstract

With such superlative properties, nanomaterials have been of great interest in recent times and have undergone intense research in many disciplines for a wide variety of applications. Of particular interest, is the use of nanomaterials as fillers in polymer based composites to form ultra sensitive, low cost smart materials for bodily sensing. In this work, a procedure for coagulation spun polyvinyl alcohol composite fibers filled with nanosheets of liquid phase exfoliated graphene and boron nitride (BN) is demonstrated.
