Abstract
Carbon nanotube has received great research attentions as a next generation material due to its superior electrical, mechanical and chemical properties. Using the properties, carbon nanotube is able to improve the sensitivity of bio sensors, gas sensors and mechanicals sensor. When a single walled carbon nanotube is adapted for the mechanical sensor, a mechanical force deforms the single walled carbon nanotube and changes its electrical properties. The electrical change is due to the change of energy band gap of the single walled carbon nanotube. In this study, we demonstrate an efficient structure of the strain sensor to raise its sensitivity using aligned and multiple numbers of single walled carbon nanotubes. The structure of strain sensor demonstrated in this study is much reliable and efficient compared to the sensor with individual single walled carbon nanotube.
