Capacitive strain sensor article on the inside back cover of Advanced Materials
"HACS: Helical Auxetic Yarn Capacitive Strain Sensors with Sensitivity Beyond the Theoretical Limit" featured in the materials science journal.
In their article, Tyler, Carlo, Brett, Pierre and Alexander present a novel capacitive strain sensor that accesses sensitivity beyond the theoretical limit. The helical auxetic capacitive sensor (HACS) employs a two-component yarn structure allowing tuneable sensitivity and accessible strain ranges. The HACS sensitivity is found to be from an engulfment phenomenon, which is predicted with a geometric model and analyzed by X-ray μCT scanning.
