Abstract:Capacitive pressure sensors based on porous foams have been demonstrated for various biomedical applications (0–10 kPa). Many different methods for fabricating porous foams have been reported. In this work, for the first time, the incorporation of silica nanoparticles are reported into the templating process of porous foams fabricated through a combination of particle and emulsion templating, in order to enhance the formation of smaller microstructures in polydimethylsiloxane foams. The foams are coated with g… Show more
