Piezoresistive polymer-based materials for real-time assessment of the stump/socket interface pressure in lower limb amputees

The present work reports a suitable piezoresistive Carbon Nanotubes / poly(vinylidene fluoride) - CNT/PVDF composite capable of measuring the interface pressure within prosthetic stump/sockets. The transducers were prepared by hot pressing with CNT, with sample concentrations up to 10 wt.%. The sens...
