Highly sensitive metal-grid strain sensors via water-based solution processing.

ABSTRACT: Strain sensor technologies have been spotlighted for their versatility for healthcare, soft robot, and human-robot applications. Expecting large future demands for such technology, extensive studies have investigated flexible and stretchable strain sensors based on various nanomaterials and metal films. However, it is still challenging to simultaneously satisfy parameters such as sensitivity, stretchability, linearity, hysteresis, and mass producibility. In this work, we demonstrate a novel approach for producing highly sensitive metal-grid strain sensors based on an all-solution process, which is suitable for mass production. We investigated the effects of the width of the metal grid and width/spacing ratio on the piezoresistivity of the strain sensors. The metal grid strain sensors exhib
