▎ 摘  要

Wearable strain sensors are appealing for monitoring human activities and evaluating human health. However, the development of wearable strain sensors with high sensitivity, large-scale manufacturing ability as well as the using of eco-friendly raw materials is still challenging. In this work, a simple and environmentally friendly high-performance strain sensor based on graphene/thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) composite is reported. The green solvent dihydrolevoglucosenone (Cyrene) was used to dissolve and disperse TPU and graphene to make conductive ink, and the graphene/TPU composite film was embedded in the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix by stencil printing and transfer process. The optimized sensor showed a very low detection limit (strain 0.1 %), high sensitivity (GF > 3905) and broad sensing range (0 - 82.4 %). Moreover, the sensor remains stable under 5,000 times of loading/unloading cycles, with outstanding fatigue resistance and long-term durability. Additionally, a series of human motion monitoring applications were demonstrated, indicating their great potential in practical applications.
