Graphite-on-paper based tactile sensors using plastic laminating technique

We report for the first time a highly sensitive paper-based tactile sensor using laminated graphite drawn on paper. Thanks to the high gauge factor of 26.2, as well as its excellent robustness and humidity-resistance, plastic-laminated graphite-on-paper has a high potential for mechanical sensors. Additionally, the plastic lamination combined with the laser cutting technique proposed in this study would enable the mass production of cleanroom-free fabrication and low-cost MEMS devices.
