AB  - Highly conductive multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and flexible cellulose 
      nanofibers (CNF) membranes with semi-interpenetrating networks structure were 
      fabricated using the typical paper-making method, which was simple and 
      cost-effective. The Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier-transform 
      infrared (FT-IR), and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to estimate 
      the morphology, chemical structure, and thermal stability of the membranes. The 
      mechanical, optical, and electrical properties of the membranes were 
      characterized with a uniaxial tensile testing machine, ultraviolet visible 
      spectroscope, and digital multimeter, respectively. The results indicated that 
      the membranes containing 10 wt% of MWCNTs showed a high conductivity value of 
      37.6 S/m, and the sheet resistances of the membranes were stable at different 
      bending states. Furthermore, we demonstrated the electrical features of 
      membrane-based capacitive pressure sensors based on CNF/MWCNTs. The proposed 
      method for fabricating CNF/MWCNTs membranes can simplify the production process 
      and have great practical potential in various electronics applications such as 
      touch screens.
