US Classification:
174388, 252511, 427122, 428422, 977773, 977788, 977779
Abstract:
A polymeric composition including a blend of poly(vinylidine fluoride) (PVDF), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), carbon nanofibers, and poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) particles is described and claimed. The polymeric composition may be coated onto a substrate and dried to form a film adhered to the substrate. The film optionally exhibits an electrical conductivity of about 10 Siemens per meter (S/m) to about 310 S/m and an electromagnetic interference shielding of about 32 decibels. Further, a coated substrate is provided including a substrate and a film adhered to the substrate, where the film includes a polymeric composition comprising a blend of PVDF, PMMA, carbon nanofibers, and PTFE particles.

Electrospun Fibrous Nanocomposites As Permeable, Flexible Strain Sensors

View page
US Patent:
8108157, Jan 31, 2012
Filed:
Feb 18, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/378667
Inventors:
George G. Chase - Wadsworth OH, US
Alexander Yarin - Willowbrook IL, US
Manish K. Tiwari - Zurich, CH
Constantine M. Megaridis - Oak Park IL, US
Assignee:
The University of Akron - Akron OH
International Classification:
G06F 19/00
US Classification:
702 42
Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to methods to provide electrospun polymer/nanoparticle composite-fiber structures for use as lightweight, compliant, porous strain sensors for non-cyclic strain sensing. In one embodiment, the fibers in the nanocomposites comprise, for example, poly(∈-caprolactone) (PCL) dielectric polymer matrix with embedded electrically conductive carbon black (CB) nanoparticles. In another embodiment, the composite-fiber structures of the present invention contain at least about 7 weight percent or more of CB and are electrically conducting in the as-spun, un-deformed state, and are thus called conductive polymer composites (CPC). In still another embodiment, the electrical resistance of a nanocomposite structure according to the invention increases with strain, and at sufficiently high strains the structure is rendered non-conductive.
