Development of artificial or robotic skin implementing optical touch sensors is considered. Integration of polymeric optical fibers in elastomeric nanocomposite matrix biomimicking human skin specification as flexibility and large-area sensing is presented. The sensing principle is directly linked to deformation of the polymeric optical fiber itself under applied weight solicitations.
Nanocomposites are nowadays the most promising new materials due to their unique properties (such as high mechanical strength, chemical and thermal resistance). The nanocomposite matrix is blended with a nanostructured filler. In this study, Silicon Carbide nanofibers (NFSiC) and their bundles were tested as a reinforcement of two epoxy resins: EPIKOTE 828 and EL 20. PAP-4 (33 phr) and P-900 (40 phr)...
