A Cu 2 O film is prepared on a flexible polyethylene terephthalate substrate for a bending sensor using the spin−spray method, a facile and low-environmental-load solution process. The Cu 2 O bending sensor shows high sensitivity and high resolution not only over a wide range of curvatures (0 < κ < 0.21 mm −1 ) but also for very small curvature changes (Δκ = ∼ 0.03 mm −1 ). The bending response of the sensor exhibited a curvature change of high linearity with a good gauge factor (18.2) owing to the grainboundary resistance and piezoresistive effects of the fabricated Cu 2 O film. In addition, the sensor possesses good repeatability, stability, and long-term (>30 days) and mechanical fatigue durability (1000 bending−release cycles). The sensor is capable of detailed monitoring of large-and small-scale human motions, such as finger bending, wrist bending, nodding, mouth opening/ closing, and swallowing. In addition, excellent stability and repeatability of the monitoring performance is observed over a wide range of motion angles and speeds. All of these results demonstrate the potential of the flexible bending sensor based on the Cu 2 O film as a candidate for healthcare monitoring and wearable electronics.
