Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="smll201401812-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A 3D network of single‐walled carbon nanotubes embedded in poly­(dimethylsiloxane)</bold> is presented as a promising route to the fabrication of a flexible film with ordered and interconnected single‐walled carbon nanotubes. This is possible using a simple transfer method of as‐grown hierarchical single‐walled carbon nanotubes on a Si pillar substrate. This film is used as a highly sensitive strain gauge sensor. This type of network embedded in a polymer film should be applicable to many fields involving mechanically stable and reliable strain sensors. <graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj1d107g7d" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></p> </abstract>
