Researchers at IIIT Hyderabad and KAUST have developed low-cost, flexible capacitive pressure sensors using PDMS foam and cotton textiles. These scalable sensors, published in IEEE, are highly sensitive and ideal for use in wearables, robotics, and healthcare applications

Hyderabad: A team of researchers from the International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad (IIITH), and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) has developed a new class of large-area, flexible dielectric materials that can be used as capacitive pressure sensors which are low-cost, highly sensitive, and suitable for applications in healthcare, robotics, and wearable devices.

Published in the IEEE Journal on Flexible Electronics, the study demonstrates how bubble-induced PDMS foam combined
