“…Further, a review article by Wu gives comprehensive coverage, including fabrication methods on strain sensors created using natural fiber materials [13], covering both yarn and fabric-based sensors. At the same time, Liza et al have discussed the construction, patterning, and performance of various textile-based strain sensors employing various sensing mechanisms [25]. However, no recent review article has exclusively covered the 2D textilebased piezoresistive strain and pressure sensors made of natural and synthetic textiles.…”

The integration of electronic functionalities into textiles has been under extensive research as its application is witnessed in various fields, including sensing, energy generation, storage, displays, and interfaces. Textiles endowed with flexibility, comfort, lightweight, and washability have been tested as reliable base materials to implement various physical sensors, of which strain and pressure sensors have shown great potential in applications such as healthcare, fitness tracking, and human-machine interaction. Piezoresistive physical sensors have considerable advantages over capacitive and piezoelectric sensors made of textiles. Apart from fibers, yarns, and threads, two-dimensional textile stripes occupy a significant share as substrates in these sensors. This review article discusses the recent progress of 2D textile-based piezoresistive strain and pressure sensors. It covers the latest works in this domain, focusing on different textile choices, conductive material combinations, fabrication methods, additional functionalities like heating, features like hydrophobic properties, and various applications, with tabulations of key performance metrics. For researchers seeking an update on the state of the field, this review would be helpful as it offers insights into trends for further research and product development aimed at meeting the demands of advanced healthcare and other applications.

The development of flexible and stretchable wearable electronics has significantly advanced smart fabrics, biomedical devices, and healthcare technologies. However, these devices often face challenges from mechanical deformations that disrupt signals, emphasizing the need for strain‐insensitive architectures to maintain functionality under varying strain conditions. Progress in this field relies on multifunctional, strain‐insensitive microfibers and nanofibers (NFs) to ensure consistent performance while minimizing signal interference caused by mechanical stress. This review highlights the advantages of fibers for flexible, stretchable, and strain‐insensitive wearable electronics, analyzing materials, fabrication methods, and design strategies that optimize strain insensitivity in single free‐standing microfibers (SFMs) and NF‐based devices. It emphasizes maintaining mechanical and electrical stability under large strains through strategic material selection, advanced fiber spinning techniques, and innovative structural designs. While emphasizing SFMs, this review also provides a concise exploration of the role of NFs within this context. The applications of SFMs in wearable electronics, particularly as conductors, sensors, and components in smart textiles, are discussed with an emphasis on strain insensitivity. The review concludes by addressing challenges in this evolving field of wearable electronics and outlining future research directions, offering insights to drive innovations in fiber‐based wearable electronics for reliable, lightweight, breathable, user‐friendly, and high‐performance wearable devices.
