Properties and potential applications of TGTMW (TiO₂/graphene/thermoplastic polyurethane multi-wall) fibers

Caption

TGTMW fibers display a unique increase in resistance in response to pressure changes, which makes these innovative fibers a promising candidate for application as flexible pressure sensors in a wide variety of fields, including gesture-based control, robotic grippers, smart textiles, and medical care.
