Flexible and wearable strain sensors are and will remain in high demand due to their direct applications in biomedical health monitoring. The challenge is to make these sensors function continuously with no additional wired powered supply. In line with this, there been considerable research works towards the integration of supercapacitor materials into flexible and wearable strain sensors, to make them self-powered and more efficient. This perspective provides insights on design and fabrication of flexible and wearable strain sensor, working, components, materials used, integration with supercapacitor, challenges, and future scope
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
