Nanocomposite Flexible Pressure Sensor for Biomedical Applications
Abstract(#br)A new approach for the fabrication of flexible pressure sensors based on aligned carbon nanotubes (A-CNTs) is described in this paper. The technology is suitable for blood pressure sensors that can be attached to a stent-graft and deployed during an endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) procedure. Given the specifications of EVAR, the device should be foldable (extremely flexible) and characterized by a (very small) profile that integrates with the stent-graft cross section.
