The circuit board integrated with the new carbon nanotube polymer has been successfully developed
February 18, 2023
Recently, researchers from the University of Tokyo in Japan have developed a scalable circuit board. This product is made of a new type of elastic material that can stretch like a rubber and stretch up to 1.7 times its original size without affecting any performance. According to Tianjin Bearing, the secret of this material lies in the integration of new carbon nanotube polymers. Although researchers have done similar research before, the density of nanotubes will lead to hardened materials. The University of Tokyo researchers solved this problem by mixing nanotubes with ionic liquids containing charged particles. This makes this material more than 500 times more conductive than any current commercial CNT polymer. This material can be applied to high-tech garments so that the circuit board can be attached to the garment better. In addition, this material can also be applied to the field of robots to create electronic skin, so that the robot can obtain more sensitive touch.
