We show that single channel capacitive strain sensor consisting of a high dielectric constant liquid sandwiched in-between two liquid metal electrodes can have 25 times higher capacitance per sensor's base area when compared to current two-channel liquid metal stain sensors.

Abstract Embedded sensors in footwear are of interest for providing feedback on mobility and gait. The most sensitive location is within the sole, requiring development of new materials that have the required functional and mechanical properties. We are developing capacitive strain sensors. The performance of such sensorsis dictated by two fundamental materials properties: dielectric constant (ε) and hardness. The sensitivity is improved by a high dielectric constant and low hardness. This paper describes a novel material that combines a composite elastomeric polymer and single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The optimum SWCNT loading in a polyurethane with 80A shore hardness was determined to be 0.1 vol% which delivered a high SNR and maintained its mechanical properties (hardness). Data collected from a shoe strain sensor array of this material can be used for automatic recognition of postures and activities, for characterization of extremity use, and to provide behavioral enhancing feedback to patients recovering from a stroke.

ABSTRACTIn this study, synthesis and characterization of rutile-Titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin films using pulsed DC Magnetron Sputtering at room temperature, along with the fabrication and characterization of MIM capacitors have been discussed. XPS and RBS data show that the films are stoichiometric and have compositional uniformity. The influence of electrode materials on electrical characteristics of the fabricated MIM capacitors has been studied. The Al/TiO2/Al based capacitors show low capacitance density (9 fF/μm2) with low dielectric constant (K=25) and high EOT (3.67 nm) due to low dielectric constant TiO2 phase formation on Al/Si substrate. On the other hand, Ru/TiO2/Ru based capacitors show high capacitance density (49 fF/μm2) with high dielectric constant (K=130) and low EOT (0.7nm) values at high frequency (100 KHz) due to high dielectric constant phase (rutile) formation of TiO2, on Ru/Si substrate. Raman spectra confirm that the films deposited on Ru/Si substrate show the rutile phase.
