Smart electronic textiles are gaining a lot of importance in the field of flexible and wearable devices because of their lightweight, flexibility, deformability, and facile interaction with human skin. Herein, a simple, inexpensive, and scalable dip‐dry‐reduce approach method is reported to fabricate a flexible strain sensor using polyester knitted elastic band (PEB) as the platform material which is coated with reduced graphene oxide, and its potential applications are demonstrated in detecting both the subtle and large‐scale deformations of the human body. PEB is made by knitting polyester yarn around a series of inner rubber cores, which makes it very versatile, lightweight, and shrink and wear resistant. The strain sensor can detect the small strains down to 0.2% with high sensitivity/gauge factor (GF) of 30 within in a strain range of 0–1%, and also shows excellent performance in terms of sensitivity (GF of 34 and 5 within in a strain range of 0–20%, 20–50%, respectively), negligible drift, stability, and durability over 6000 cycles. Moreover, the strain sensor can sense and record large‐scale human body motion even under water‐immersed condition and also exhibits negative temperature coefficient effect with a temperature coefficient of resistance of 0.677%°C−1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
