A Direction‐Aware Piezo‐Transmittance Strain Sensor via Engineered Alignment of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs)

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A direction‐aware piezo‐transmittance strain sensor is realized through the engineered alignment of carbon nanotubes. This anisotropic architecture instantaneously modulates optical transmittance, achieving ultra‐high sensitivity and exceptionally low hysteresis. By effectively eliminating signal crosstalk to precisely decouple multidirectional strains,

Fabrication of Fibers With Complex Features Using Thermal Drawing of 3D‐Printed Preforms

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
3D printing enables rapid fabrication of macroscale polymer preforms with complex geometries. Thermal drawing then scales these structures into long fibers while preserving micron‐scale cross‐sectional features. This workflow provides a fast, low‐cost route to functional fibers with tailored geometries and material combinations for catheter, robotic ...
