Abstract EN

The design and characterization of polymer-based self-standing flexible strain sensors are presented in this work.

Properties as lightness and flexibility make them suitable for the measurement of strain in applications related with wearable electronics such as robotics or rehabilitation devices.

Several sensors have been fabricated to analyze the influence of size and electrical conductivity on their behavior.

Elongation and applied charge were precisely controlled in order to measure different parameters as electrical resistance, gauge factor (GF), hysteresis, and repeatability.

The results clearly show the influence of size and electrical conductivity on the gauge factor, but it is also important to point out the necessity of controlling the hysteresis and repeatability of the response for precision-demanding applications.
