Abstract

This paper reports the development of a novel mechanical sensing elastomer that leverages the advantages of graphene, and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) into Ecoflex and integrated using a unique liquid phase fusion process. The graphene-MWCNT elastomer is used to form a stretchable sensor for monitoring subtle changes of the plant growth over multiple days in a field condition.
