Greatly enhanced electromechanical sensitivities were observed in ion beam irradiated polyimide films, where high resolution transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy studies showed that 5.5 MeV Cu 3+ ions produce randomly dispersed and highly oriented conducting nanochannels cont
