TL;DR: In this paper, a finger-sensing nanocomposite with remarkable and reversible piezoresistivity is successfully fabricated by dispersing homogeneously conductive graphite nanosheets (GNs) in a silicone rubber (SR) matrix.
Abstract: A novel finger-sensing nanocomposite with remarkable and reversible piezoresistivity is successfully fabricated by dispersing homogeneously conductive graphite nanosheets (GNs) in a silicone rubber (SR) matrix. Because of the high aspect ratio of the graphite nanosheets, the nanocomposite displays a very low percolation threshold. The SR/GN nanocomposite with a volume fraction of conductive nanosheets closest to that for the percolation threshold presents a sharp positive-pressure coefficient effect of the resistivity under very low pressure, namely, in the finger-pressure range (0.3–0.7 MPa), whereby the abrupt transition could be attributed to compressive-stress-induced deformation of the conducting network. The super-sensitive piezoresistive behavior of the nanocomposite is accounted for by an extension of the tunneling conduction theory which provides a good approximation to the piezoresistive effect.

TL;DR: In this paper, a stretchable and multifunctional capacitive sensor made of gold thin films embedded in silicone rubber is presented, which can detect strains up to 20%, human touch, and pressure up to 160 kPa, and reliably function when held stretched or relaxed.
Abstract: We present a stretchable and multifunctional capacitive sensor made of gold thin films embedded in silicone rubber. The mechanical compliance of the gold films and silicone membranes allow the device to be bent, folded, or stretched without damage, making it a suitable candidate for electronic skin applications. The device can detect strains up to 20%, human touch, and pressure up to 160 kPa, and reliably function when it is held stretched or relaxed.

TL;DR: A laminated membrane for use with an enzyme electrode without the need for use of a compensating electrode was proposed in this paper, which consists of essentially homogeneous material such as cellulose acetate or silicone rubber which will prevent passage of even low molecular weight interfering materials, an adhesive layer of the enzyme itself (with or without other materials that may be blended with it), and a layer of support film which will also prevent the passage of high molecular weight interference materials.
