Flexible and Degradable Paper-Based Strain Sensor with Low Cost

It is a challenge to fabricate low-cost and flexible electronic devices with degradable materials. In this work, a flexible and degradable strain sensor was fabricated on a paper substrate by dip-coating in an aqueous suspension of carbon black (CB) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). The composition of CB and CMC in the suspension was first studied for producing a uniform conducting layer on the paper. Then the strain sensor was obtained by...
