Highly Sensitive and Temperature‐Insensitive Stretchable Strain Sensor with Microcrack‐Engineered Architecture

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study proposes a stretchable strain sensor that demonstrates a high gauge factor of 2.3 × 104 and excellent linearity (R2 = 0.98), while maintaining temperature insensitivity under applied strain. This performance is achieved through a microcrack architecture formed by stacking a brittle, low‐resistance material with a stretchable, high‐resistance
