Summary: This work presents resistive sensors based on carrageenan composites with multi-wall carbon nanotubes. The mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of the printed composites were tailored by adjusting the filler content. It was found that the inclusion of carbon fillers did not affect the polymer matrix's morphology, polymer phase, and thermal properties, but increased the Young's modulus and electrical conductivity.
