To realize the quantitative analysis and research of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) acupuncture manipulations, miniaturized multidimensional force sensors are necessary to measure lifting–thrusting twisting torque in process acupuncture, which records manipulations excellent physicians for relevant learn improve their manipulations. A miniature multiaxis force/torque ( <inline-formula xmlns...

In this paper we present a humidity sensor based on keratin which is present in human hair. Noting keratin’s ability to absorb humidity and undergo structural changes, we studied the change in its electrical properties as a function of humidity and temperature. The electrical properties change due to the change in water percentage in keratin as well as due to volumetric changes. The volumetric ...

Among the multiple classes of mechanofluorochromic (MFC) compounds reported in recent years, simple donor–acceptor molecules involving oligooxyethylene N-substituted diphenylamine connected to a dicyanovinyl group by thienyl spacer constitute specific class mechano-stimulable smart materials with unique combination properties including turn-on mechanofluorochromism red-light photoluminescence e...
