BEFORE / AFTER

What changed from existing technology?

Previous limitation

This study made a special kind of foam that can sense touch or pressure by mixing rubber with special materials. The foam's ability to store electrical energy was improved by changing how it was made and what materials were used.

This research

This study is the first to use a combination of Acetylene black and Polyaniline in natural rubber latex foam to improve dielectric performance for smart sensors.

INDUSTRY OPPORTUNITY

What could change if this succeeds?

07 · ONE MORE POSSIBILITYOne possibility beyond the paper

The optimized foam could be used in smart sensors for monitoring pressure or strain in wearable technology or structural health monitoring systems.
