“…One common strategy to develop wearable multimodal sensors is to integrate multiple single-modal sensors into one sensing array. − Although this strategy has been achieved for simultaneous and discriminable multisignal sensing, the complex and expensive fabrication processes required for these sensing arrays limit their use for real-world commercial applications. , Recently, one effective approach has been proposed as an alternative approach to fabricate consolidated multimodal sensors with decoupled force and temperature sensing ability by utilizing functional materials with inherent electromechanical and electrothermal effects as a single sensing material. ,,,, Three types of such functional materials exhibit dual-sensing capability: thermoelectric materials (e.g., PEDOT:PSS) with inherent thermoelectric and piezoresistive features, , ferroelectric materials (e.g., BaTiO 3 ) with intrinsic pyroelectric and piezoelectric properties, and dedicatedly designed composite materials (such as our previously reported conductive nanocomposite) with combined piezoresistive and thermoelectric effects, or piezoresistive and pyroelectric effects . Among the reported electromechanical and electrothermal sensors, the piezoresistive and pyroresistive sensors, which produce similar signals of relative resistance changes in response to pressure and thermal stimuli, have attracted much interest in practical wearable sensing applications because of their simple and scalable fabrication processes, easy signal collection methods, and broad selection of applicable piezoresistive and pyroresistive materials. ,, Blending conductive nanomaterials with soft polymers to prepare thermosensitive conductive composites can be a facile method to make pyroresistive and piezoresistive composites. However, these dual-sensing materials usually produce fused signals of relative resistance or current changes without discrimination .…”
