“…The wide use of flexible sensors, including use in applications such as electronic skins [1][2][3][4], human-computer interaction [5,6], cardiovascular monitoring [7], body joint detection [8][9][10], breathing tests [11][12][13], and information communication [14,15], has attracted academic attention. According to the working principles, flexible pressure sensors can be classified as piezoresistive [16,17], capacitive [18], triboelectric [19], and piezoelectric [20], which can effectively convert mechanical deformation into quantifiable electrical signals.…”

The practical application of flexible pressure sensors, including electronic skins, wearable devices, human–machine interaction, etc., has attracted widespread attention. However, the linear response range of pressure sensors remains an issue. Ecoflex, as a silicone rubber, is a common material for flexible pressure sensors. Herein, we have innovatively designed and fabricated a pressure sensor with a gradient micro-cone architecture generated by CO2 laser ablation of MWCNT/Ecoflex dielectric layer film. In cooperation with the gradient micro-cone architecture and a dielectric layer of MWCNT/Ecoflex with a variable high dielectric constant under pressure, the pressure sensor exhibits linearity (R2 = 0.990) within the pressure range of 0–60 kPa, boasting a sensitivity of 0.75 kPa−1. Secondly, the sensor exhibits a rapid response time of 95 ms, a recovery time of 129 ms, hysteresis of 6.6%, and stability over 500 cycles. Moreover, the sensor effectively exhibited comprehensive detection of physiological signals, airflow detection, and Morse code communication, thereby demonstrating the potential for various applications.

Multifunctional wearable heaters have attracted much attention for their effective applications in personal thermal management and medical therapy. Compared to passive heating, Joule heating offers significant advantages in terms of reusability, reliable temperature control, and versatile coupling. Joule‐heated fabrics make wearable electronics smarter. This review critically discusses recent advances in Joule‐heated smart fabrics, focusing on various fabrication strategies based on material‐structure synergy. Specifically, various applicable conductive materials with Joule heating effect are first summarized. Subsequently, different preparation methods for Joule heating fabrics are compared, and then their various applications in smart clothing, healthcare, and visual indication are discussed. Finally, the challenges faced in developing these smart Joule heating fabrics and their possible solutions are discussed.
