Abstract
In this chapter, taking advantage of the properties of graphene and the comprehensive characteristics of the mesh structure, GWF was utilized as the strain material. It was embedded or covered in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to make strain sensors. The sensor has high sensitivity and stable performance at low strain, with the resistance increased by 10 times at a tensile strain of 2 %, and 10,000 times at the strain of 8 %. A model of the sensor was established, analyzing the strain sensing mechanism of the sensor showing its practical application in the posture measurements of human body and temperature measurement.
