Update Presentation Stephanie Moran, Ryan Rosario, Zachary Stauber, Juan Carlo- Ybarra
Goals and Specifications • (Easily) Mountable • not incorporated into a textile • High Elongation • 15-30% strain • based on parachute and glove applications • Fast-Response • ms range • useful in dynamic applications • not observed in current high elongation sensors1 • Precise • 2% error1 • useful for experimentation or motion control
Tasks Completed -Trained on Machinery -Instron and Melt Spinner -Ordered Polymer Needed -Looking into Possible Option to Mix in Carbon Black -Researched Possible Dielectrics -Ruled out Optics -Updated Website
Future Goals for Next Week -Making Molds for Polymer -Strain testing -Obtain Dielectric Material -Test What kind of change in Capacitance is Measurable -Test mechanical properties for Substrate and Dielectric -Look into Possible Attachment to Textile
Polymer Testing -Use Instron -Dog Bone Shape vs. Fiber -Obtaining Thick Fiber is Difficult with Melt Spinner -TPE has melting point of ~350℃ -Find Mold that can Withstand Temperature of Melted Polymer -Other Possible Testing
Capacitive Testing -Dielectric Material, not crucial -Can detect small capacitance, but we might have larger capacitance then first calculated -Adhesive for polymer to metal, suspend plates in polymer? -Plates, copper thin foil
