Our recent achievements in the design, processing and studies of physical properties of elastomer - nanostructured
carbon composites as prospective compressive strain sensor materials for robotic tactile elements
are presented. Composites made of polyisoprene matrix and high-structured carbon black or multi-wall
carbon nano-tube filler have been designed and manufactured to develop completely flexible conductive
polymer nano-composites for tactile sensing elements. Electrical resistance of the composites as a function
of mechanical strain and pressure is studied.
