DOIAbstract
Metal film/elastomer-based strain sensors usually exhibit small rupture strain (<5%) because of the strain localization and necking effect of the metal film under tension. To achieve both high stretchability and wide linear region is still challenging for metal film-based strain sensors. Here, we propose a low-cost yet effective strategy for fabricating ultrathin, breathable, and skin-mountable strain sensors with high sensitivity (gauge factor from 7.2 to 474.8), high stretchability (up to 140%), and good linearity by regulating the surface strain delocalization in the metal film on elastomer substrate. On the basis of this phenomenon of strain delocalization, the sensitivity and linearity are further enhanced based on a novel diffraction-...
