For
advanced flexible strain sensors, it is not difficult to achieve
high sensitivity only. However, integrating high sensitivity, high
stability, and high durability into one sensor still remains a great
challenge. Fortunately, natural creatures with diversified excellent
performances have given us a lot of ready-made solutions. Here, scorpion
and spiderweb are selected as coupling bionic prototypes, which are
famous for their ultrasensitive sensing capacity and excellent structural
durability, respectively. Based on that, a bioinspired strain sensor
is successfully fabricated. The results demonstrate that the bioinspired
strain sensor has a sensitivity of 940.5 in the strain range of 0–1.5%
and a sensitivity of 2742.3 between 1.5 and 2.5%. Meantime, this sensor
with a spiderweb-like reticular structure has a great improvement
in stability and durability. Specifically, the sensor exhibits excellent
stability during bending and stretching cycles over 80,000 times.
Moreover, the response time and recovery time of the sensor are 169
and 195 ms, respectively. Besides, the sensor also has functions such
as vibrating frequency identification due to its low hysteresis. Based
on the excellent performance, the sensor can be applied to monitor
human body motions serving as wearable electronics.
