Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This study investigates the development of strain sensors using electrospun thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanofibers combined with conductive inks. TPU nanofibers were produced under controlled electrospinning conditions, achieving an average diameter of 700 ± 96 nm. Various conductive patterns such as zigzag and star, designed in KiCad, were printed onto the nanofibrous membranes to optimize sensor performance. The membranes were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for morphology, burst strength tests for mechanical durability, and tunnel tests to assess airflow resistance and pressure drop at different velocities. The results revealed that printed patterns influenced sensor sensitivity, rupture strength, and pressure drop. Among these, the star-patterned membrane demonstrated a novel configuration that maximized both sensitivity and mechanical durability under airflow stress. This unique design provided the highest sensitivity and rupture resistance at higher velocities compared to other patterns. These TPU-based strain sensors, with enhanced filtration and sensing capabilities, are promising for air filtration systems, with potential applications in detecting clogging and airflow changes.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
