How to Make Your Own Conductive Polymers
It's a project actually you can see on Hackaday. It's called PolySense. I was introduced to it by Cedric Hone who is one of the people who reversed engineered a product that they were interested in and came up with this very simple method for making your own conductive polymers. The functionally the way it works is simply like it being a die bath, but instead of imparting color, it's wrapping the polymers into the fiber as it forms. So that would make your own sensor as well as actuator. Yes, and so that's kind of central to the way I'm approaching soft robotics. My class is called exploring concepts from soft robotics as opposed to
