Abstract
HighlightsA method is proposed for the modulation of electrical pathways in the cracks of stretchable electrodes using liquid metals, based on which ultra-high sensitivity (> 108) and large-range (> 100%) strain sensors are realised.A secondary modulation of the response (or performance) of the sensor is proposed, allowing not only electrical modulation by liquid metal patterning during fabrication, but also mechanical modulation by pre-stretching at the time of use.The air permeability and stability of the patterned liquid metal electrode region is optimised to enable air permeability similar to that of conventional fabrics and cycle durability in excess of 2000 cycles.
