发明名称 Polymeric material with voids that compress to allow the polymeric material to absorb applied force and decrease reaction force to one or more sensor fibers
摘要 In one example, the voids 208 comprise one or more gas (e.g., air) bubbles in the solid material 206 . In another example, the voids 208 comprise a structure that preserves a space in the solid material 206 . In a further example, the voids 208 comprise hollow elastomeric bubbles, for example, hollow elastomeric microspheres. The hollow elastomeric microspheres comprise microballoons with tin walls that encapsulate a gas to allow for easy compression. For example, the walls of the hollow elastomeric microspheres are strong enough to avoid breakage under pressure, but thin enough to easily compress. In a further example, once cured in the solid material 206 , the hollow elastomeric microspheres comprise substantially similar compressibility characteristics as gas bubbles. The voids 208 in one example are added to a resin of the solid material 206 in a substantially uniform distribution. For example, the hollow elastomeric microspheres are stirred into the resin of the solid material 206.
