Sumario:Nano-structures based on polystyrene nanostructures are studied in this work as a possibility for developing a synthetic skin sensible to pressure. Simulations of nano-materials based in polystyrene nano-spheres of different sizes have been carried out, in order to obtain information about their reflectivity spectra for visible and close infrared wavelengths in order to understand better its behaviour. The reflectivity spectra obtained were later compared with experimental results, highlighting some features of relevant interest.
