Abstract

Abstract Stretchable and transparent strain sensors based on conductive polymer composites (CPCs) possess potential applications in a variety of fields, including electronic skin, wearable electronics, and human motion detection. However, it is still a challenge to prepare CPC-based strain sensors with both good transparency and broad sensing range by a low-cost, facile, and scalable fabrication method. Herein, we report a simple spray deposition and transfer method to fabricate a stretchable and transparent strain sensor based on the sandwich-like polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)/carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/PDMS composite containing with an ultrathin and uniform conductive layer. The fabricated strain sensors exhibit superb stretchability, good optical transparency, and excellent sensing performances, which can detect both the subtle and large strains with outstanding stability and repeatability. For example, the strain sensor based on PDMS/CNTs/PDMS composite (containing 0.16 mg/cm2 CNTs on the conductive layer) presents a good optical transmittance of 53.1% at 550 nm, broad sensing range of over 130%, and the ability to monitor both the subtle motions of facial expressions and the large motions of human joints, which has great potential applications in human motion detection, wearable electronics, and electronic skin.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
