Abstract
- Stretchable strain sensors with integrated attributes of flexibility and robustness are urgently required owing to their promising applications in healthcare monitoring and environment detection. Herein, we achieved a highly stretchable thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) mat (PUM) through electrospinning, then decorated with polyaniline (PANI) nanoparticles bridged by reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets by in-situ polymerization and ultrasonication. The rGO/PANI/TPU mat (GPTM) was then assembled as the strain sensor (GPTSS), showing a wide sensing range of 0.1%–300% strain, high gauge factor (GF) of 3000.2, favorable sensing stability, short response time (90 ms) and excellent long-term durability after 10000 stretching/releasing cycles, which endows the strain sensor with high discernibility for detecting intricate human motions. The GPTSS shows the capacity to precisely monitor ammonia gas (as low as 5 ppm), which can be used to detect harmful gases. The integrated capabilities of strain sensing and environmental monitoring promote the progress of high-performance electronics. [Display omitted] [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
