Fabrication Routes for Ionic Conducting Fiber Strain Sensors
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Ionic conducting fiber strain sensors (ICFSs) offer compliant, textile‐integrable sensing. Thus far, the commercialization of ICFSs has been constrained by fiber fabrication routes. This review provides a fabrication‐centric analysis of ICFSs correlating processing strategies with material properties and scalability.
