The piezoresistive tactile sensor has attracted much attention due to its convenient technology, simple principle, and convenient signal acquisition and analysis. In this paper, conductive beads-on-string polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)\/polyaniline doped with dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid (PANI-DBSA) nanofibers were fabricated via the electrospinning technique. Due to the special nanostructure of PVA-coated PANI-DBSA, the tactile sensor presented a wide measuring range of 12 Pa\u2013121 kPa and appreciable sensitivity of 8.576 kPa\u22121 at 12 Pa~484 Pa. In addition, the response time and recovery time of the sensor were approximately 500 ms, demonstrating promising prospects in the field of tactile sensing for active upper limb prostheses.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym16111449","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,21]],"date-time":"2024-05-21T06:50:52Z","timestamp":1716274252000},"page":"1449","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["PVA\/PANI-DBSA Nanomesh Tactile Sensor for Force Feedback"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Boyi","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"},{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Digital Manufacturing, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"},{"name":"Shaoxing Institute for Advanced Research, Wuhan University of Technology, Shaoxing 312300, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rong","family":"Du","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"},{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Digital Manufacturing, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"},{"name":"Shaoxing Institute for Advanced Research, Wuhan University of Technology, Shaoxing 312300, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5333-7163","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yi","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"},{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Digital Manufacturing, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"},{"name":"Shaoxing Institute for Advanced Research, Wuhan University of Technology, Shaoxing 312300, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7120-4498","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Han","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"},{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Digital Manufacturing, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"},{"name":"Shaoxing Institute for Advanced Research, Wuhan University of Technology, Shaoxing 312300, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"See, A.R., Choco, J.A.G., and Chandramohan, K.
