MXene-Based Polymeric Nanocomposites for Pressure/Strain Sensing

Pressure/strain sensors are a type of flexible sensor which have great applications in life due to their capability to monitor, respond, and transform mechanical motion in an electrical signal. Strain sensing applications have widened the scope of technology and permitted us to detect alterations in surroundings in distinct ways that can be barely imagined. To increase the efficacy and broaden the application scope of pressure sensors, MXenes have been incorporated into strain/pressure sensing devices due to their great electrochemical features. In this chapter, we have reviewed the progress in MXene-based pressure sensors. We have discussed the fundamentals, synthesis, sensing mechanism, and applications of MXene-based strain/pressure sensors. Strain/pressure sensors based on MXenes have the potential to overcome the limitations of conventional metallic strain gauges, such as poor sensitivity and low stretchability. We have reported the state-of-the-art MXene-based strain sensors with a particular focus on their fabrication strategies and efficiency (sensitivity and strain) of the strain sensor created.
