Researchers at AMBER, the SFI Centre for Advanced Materials and BioEngineering Research, and from Trinity s School of Physics, have developed next-generation, graphene-based sensing technology using their innovative G-Putty material.
The team s printed sensors are 50 times more sensitive than the industry standard and outperform other comparable nano-enabled sensors in an important metric seen as a game-changer in the industry: flexibility.
Maximizing sensitivity and flexibility without reducing performance makes the teams technology an ideal candidate for the emerging areas of wearable electronics and medical diagnostic devices.
The team - led by Professor Jonathan Coleman from Trinity s School of Physics, one of the world s leading nanoscientists - demonstrated that they can produce a low-cost, printed, graphene nanocomposite strain sensor.

A team at Trinity College Dublin is currently exploring medical applications for its flexible graphene-based sensor.
Graphene has been hailed as a ‘wonder material’ as it is incredibly strong, but also light and flexible.
Now, scientists in Ireland are making use of these properties with a development that could have applications in the areas of wearable electronics and medical diagnostic devices.
