Nanocrystalline graphite thin layers for low-strain, high-sensitivity piezoresistive sensing

Bulk nanocrystalline graphite has been investigated as a possible candidate for piezoresistive sensors. The thin films were grown using capacitively coupled plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition and a technological workflow for the transfer of the active material onto flexible substrates was est...
