Abstract: Highly sensitive and flexible pressure sensors were developed based on dielectric membranes composed of insulating microbeads contained within polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofibers. The membrane is fabricated using a simple electrospinning process. The presence of the microbeads enhances porosity, which in turn enhances the sensitivity (1.12 kPa
