An ink blend consisting of a polymer, a weakly cross-linking agent and a nanomaterial deposited to form a thin polymer-nanomaterial composite film with unique mechanical and electrical properties suitable for high performance strain sensing applications.

Nanocomposite material and uses thereof

A homogenous composite material with increased tensile strength comprising 2-dimensional nano-sheets exfoliated from a 3-dimensional layered material mixed in a liquid non-Newtonian viscoelastic material to produce the homogenous composite material; and a process for making the same.

Viscoelastic conductive nanomaterial-polymer nanocomposites and sensing devices comprising the composite material

A process for producing conductive composites, the process comprising the steps of soaking a polymer in an organic solvent and applying energy; soaking the polymer in a solution of conductive nano-material dispersed in an organic solvent:water mixture and applying energy, so that conductive nano-material is incorporated into the polymer structure; washing the conductive nano-material-incorporated polymer in deionized water and applying energy; and drying the washed conductive nano-material-incorporated polymer to produce the conductive composite, wherein the conductive composite incorporates conductive nano-material throughout the structure of the polymer without affecting the integrity of the properties of the polymer.
