Abstract

— MXene materials have been garnering attention since their discovery in 2011. Their enhanced electromechanical characteristics have been prominently used in composite sensors to detect fine and gross motor skills. This paper highlights the adaptability of MXene [Ti3C2Tx] as a viable electrical Evaluation of nanofiller for thin film flexible elastomer-based strain electrical properties of sensors. This study presents the development of Mixing of composite Casting and flexible thin-film strain sensors using MXene With Elastomer CNC/MXene Curing of Wearable Skin: composite Film Strain Sensor (Ti3C2Tx)/Carbon Nanocones and nanodisks Evaluation of physical (CNC/CNDs) hybrid nanocomposites embedded in properties of composite epichlorohydrin rubber via a scalable, solvent-based batch mixing process. The optimized ratio exhibited excellent strain sensitivity, with a high gauge factor of 3.35 and robust repeatability in detecting human gestures, displaying potential for direct technology transfer in wearable electronics, soft robotics, and biomedical monitoring, providing a green and efficient platform for human-machine interfacing.
