Development of MWCNT/Magnetite flexible triboelectric sensors by magnetic patte...
Esteves, David Seixas; Pereira, Manuel F. C.; Ribeiro, Ana; Durães, Nelson; Paiva, Maria C.; Sequeiros, Elsa W.The fabrication of low-electrical-percolation-threshold polymer composites aims to reduce the weight fraction of the conductive nanomaterial necessary to achieve a given level of electrical resistivity of the composite. The present work aimed at preparing composites based on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and magnetite particles in a polyurethane (PU) matrix to study the effect on the electrical resistan...
Fabrication of low electrical percolation threshold multi-walled carbon nanotub...
Esteves, David Seixas; Durães, Nelson; Pedroso, Rúben; Melo, Amanda; Paiva, Maria C.; Sequeiros, Elsa W.Soft robotics is an expanding area with multiple applications; however, building low-cost, soft, and flexible robots requires the development of sensors that can be directly integrated into the soft robotics fabrication process. Thus, the motivation for this work was the design of a low-cost fabrication process of flexible sensors that can detect touch and deformation. The fabrication process proposed uses a fl...

Ribeiro, Viviana Pinto; Silva-Correia, Joana; Morais, Alain José Silva; Correlo, V. M.; Marques, A. P.; Ribeiro, A. S.; Silva, Carla; Durães, Nelson[Excerpt] Scaffolds developed for bone tissue engineering (TE) must possess specific structural properties to allow neo-tissue formation and integration within the material[1]. Several polymeric systems and processing methodologies have been proposed to develop bone TE scaffolds. Nevertheless, the so far proposed strategies do not fulfil all the requirements for effective bone regeneration. Textile technologies...
