Description
Summary:A soft thermal sensor with mechanical adaptability is fabricated by the combination of single‐wall carbon nanotubes with carboxyl groups and self‐healing polymers. This study demonstrates that this soft sensor has excellent thermal response and mechanical adaptability. It shows tremendous promise for improving the service life of soft artificial‐intelligence robots and protecting thermally sensitive electronics from the risk of damage by high temperature.
