Flexible electrically conductive nanotube sensor for elastomeric devices |
摘要 |
A flexible substrate has a major surface and a sensor attached to and aligned with the major surface of the substrate. The sensor may have an elastic body containing conductive nanotubes homogeneously distributed therein to form a conductive path and at least two electrodes in electrical connection with the conductive path. Balloons and flexible elements used in medical procedures are particularly useful. |

1. A flexible substrate having a major surface and a sensor attached to and aligned with the major surface of the substrate, wherein: the sensor comprises an elastic body containing conductive nanotubes homogeneously distributed therein to form a conductive path and at least two electrodes in electrical connection with the conductive path, wherein the major surface is on an inflatable balloon having a conduit for transporting fluid into a cavity of the balloon to alter stress on the major surface of the inflatable balloon.
