1. 1 Update Presentation Stephanie Moran, Ryan Rosario, Zachary Stauber, Juan Carlo- Ybarra

2. 2 (Easily) Mountable not incorporated into a textile High Elongation 15-30% strain based on parachute and glove applications Fast-Response ms range useful in dynamic applications not observed in current high elongation sensors 1 Precise 2% error 1 useful for experimentation or motion control Goals and Specifications

3. 3 -Trained on Machinery -Instron and Melt Spinner -Ordered Polymer Needed -Looking into Possible Option to Mix in Carbon Black -Researched Possible Dielectrics -Ruled out Optics -Updated Website Tasks Completed

4. 4 Future Goals for Next Week -Making Molds for Polymer -Strain testing -Obtain Dielectric Material -Test What kind of change in Capacitance is Measurable -Test mechanical properties for Substrate and Dielectric -Look into Possible Attachment to Textile

5. 5 Polymer Testing -Use Instron -Dog Bone Shape vs. Fiber -Obtaining Thick Fiber is Difficult with Melt Spinner -TPE has melting point of ~350 ℃ -Find Mold that can Withstand Temperature of Melted Polymer -Other Possible Testing

6. 6 Capacitive Testing -Dielectric Material, not crucial -Can detect small capacitance, but we might have larger capacitance then first calculated -Adhesive for polymer to metal, suspend plates in polymer? -Plates, copper thin foil
