Description

Sensors employing elastomers enhanced with electrically conductive 2D nanoparticles are provided. The nanoparticles are formed by applying shear to layered materials present in elastomer precursors (e.g., elastomeric monomer(s) and/or curing agent(s)). Subsequent exfoliation of the layers occurs directly within the precursor and/or curing agent. The cured elastomer nanocomposites can be employed for electrochemical sensing, flexible touchpads, pressure sensors, and wireless sensors, amongst other applications.
