Abstract
Wearable and stretchable strain sensors have potential values in the fields of human motion and health monitoring, flexible electronics, and soft robotic skin. The wearable and stretchable strain sensors can be directly attached to human skin, providing visualized detection for human motions and personal healthcare. Conductive polymer composites (CPC) composed of conductive fillers and flexible polymers have the advantages of high stretchability, good flexibility, superior durability, which can be used to prepare flexible strain sensors with large working strain and outstanding sensitivity. This review has put forward a comprehensive summary on the fabrication methods, advanced mechanisms and strain sensing abilities of CPC strain sensors reported in recent years, especially the sensors with superior performance. Finally, the structural design, bionic function, integration technology and further application of CPC strain sensors are prospected.
期刊介绍:
Nano Materials Science (NMS) is an international and interdisciplinary, open access, scholarly journal. NMS publishes peer-reviewed original articles and reviews on nanoscale material science and nanometer devices, with topics encompassing preparation and processing; high-throughput characterization; material performance evaluation and application of material characteristics such as the microstructure and properties of one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional nanostructured and nanofunctional materials; design, preparation, and processing techniques; and performance evaluation technology and nanometer device applications.
