Linearly and highly pressure-sensitive electronic skin based on a bio-inspired hierarchical structural array

Abstract

Pressure���sensitive electronic skin composed of a hierarchical structural array exhibits outstanding linear and high sensitivity in the pressure range exerted by gentle touch. By virtue of monolayer graphene acting as electrode material, this device can be operated with low voltage. Especially, its high transparency enables an accurate placement of the device on the target position when it is used for health monitoring.This work was supported by a grant (Code No. 2012M3A6A5055728) from the Center for Advanced Soft Electronics under the Global Frontier Research Program of the Ministry of Science, ICT & Future Planning, Korea
