Piezoresistive strain sensing using carbon nanotube forests suspended by Parylene-C membranes

We present a strain gauge that uses a carbon nanotube (CNT) forest, partially embedded in a Parylene-C membrane, as a piezoresistor. The device exhibits high sensitivity with a gauge factor of 4.52 or higher for strains up to ~1.5, offering much higher sensitivity in the strain range than those repo...
