Abstract

Extremely stretchable self-healing strain sensors based on conductive hydrogels are successfully fabricated. The strain sensor can achieve autonomic self-heal electrically and mechanically under ambient conditions, and can sustain extreme elastic strain (1000%) with high gauge factor of 1.51. Furthermore, the strain sensors have good response, signal stability, and repeatability under various human motion detections. Stretchable, wearable, flexible, and human friendly soft electronic devices are of significance to meet the escalating requirements of increasing complexity and multifunctionality of modern electronics.1-6 Strain sensors can generate repeatable electrical changes upon mechanical deformations. They…
