Herein, cryo-spun drying strategy is proposed to fabricate the thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) fiber with anisotropic conductive networks (ACN@TPU fiber). Benefiting from the excellent mechanical properties of TPU, and the excellent interface among TPU, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), the prepared ACN@TPU fiber exhibits an outstanding mechanical performance.

Furthermore, mathematical model based on AgNPs is established and the resistance calculation equation is derived, with a highly matched fitting and experimental results (<span>(R^{2})</span> = 0.998). As a conceptual demonstration, the ACN@TPU fiber sensor is worn on a mannequin to accurately and instantly detect movements.
