Ultra-stretchable and highly sensitive strain sensor based on gradient structure carbon nanotubes

Abstract

A highly stretchable and sensitive strain sensor based on a gradient carbon nanotube was developed. The strain sensors show an unprecedented combination of both high sensitivity (gauge factor = 13.5) and ultra-stretchability (>550%).
