Tactile and Chemical Senses

Tactile senses encompass touch, temperature, and pain, each mediated by specific receptors. Touch receptors detect mechanical energy or pressure against the skin. Sensory fibers from these receptors enter the spinal cord and relay information to the brain stem. Here, most fibers cross over to the opposite side of the brain. The touch information then moves to the thalamus, which projects a map of the body's surface onto the somatosensory areas of the parietal lobes in the cerebral cortex. This...

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a wearable multimodal sensory textile (MST) using a programmable ferroelectric nanocomposite.
  • Utilized phase-field simulation and experimental characterization to analyze filler alignment and its effects.
  • Investigated the impact of dielectrophoretic parameters on filler arrangement and sensor response.

Main Results:

  • The MST achieved high pressure sensitivity (0.9 V N⁻¹) and temperature sensitivity (38.7 pA K⁻¹).
  • Topological engineering and filler alignment significantly enhanced piezoelectric (114%) and pyroelectric (131%) responses.
  • Demonstrated efficient stress and heat transmission pathways through aligned ceramic fillers.

Conclusions:

  • Topological modulation in polymer composites is key for high-performance multimodal sensing.
  • The developed MST offers a promising platform for advanced human-machine interfaces and virtual reality applications.
