Flexible temperature sensors: A review

Abstract: The research and development of wearable sensors have gained a growing interest due to the advantage of being flexible, thin, and light, which makes them highly desirable for robotic and healthcare applications. One of the essential devices in wearable technology is flexible temperature sensors for body temperature detection. Recent advances in flexible temperature sensors based on nanomaterials and conductive polymers are evaluated in this review. The temperature-responsive mechanisms, temperature-sensitive materials, and production methods of temperature sensors and recent outcomes of related papers are explained and classified in a detailed perspective. The flexible temperature sensors based on nanomaterial-filled polymer composites, printed/coated conductors, and textiles are explained in terms of structures and performances by giving examples from recent literature studies. The reliability and challenges of flexible temperature sensors are outlined from the point of view of structural design and implementation.

Study of double parton scattering using W + 2-jet events in proton-proton collisions at √s = 7 TeV

Abstract: Double parton scattering is investigated in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV where the final state includes a W boson, which decays into a muon and a neutrino, and two jets. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 5 inverse femtobarns, collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. Observables sensitive to double parton scattering are investigated after being corrected for detector effects and selection efficiencies. The fraction of W + 2-jet events due to double parton scattering is measured to be 0.055 +/- 0.002 (stat.) +/- 0.014 (syst.). The effective cross section, sigma[eff], characterizing the effective transverse area of hard partonic interactions in collisions between protons is measured to be 20.7 +/- 0.8 (stat.) +/- 6.6 (syst.) mb.
