  • To investigate the effect of a Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) buffer layer on TPU@MXene (MPTPU) fiber strain sensors.
  • To optimize sensor performance for applications in wearable technology and health monitoring.

Main Methods:

  • Layer-by-layer assembly method for PVA buffer layer integration.
  • Fabrication of PVA buffer layer-reinforced TPU@MXene (MPTPU) fiber strain sensors.
  • Characterization of sensor performance, including sensitivity, stretchability, detection threshold, and durability.

Main Results:

  • The PVA buffer layer significantly improved interfacial adhesion and alleviated stress concentration.
  • MPTPU sensors demonstrated a sensitivity of 12.8, 50% stretchability, and a detection threshold of 0.1%.
  • The sensor exhibited excellent durability (>10,000 cycles), bending sensing capability, and washability.

Conclusions:

  • The engineered multilayer composite structure enhances strain sensor performance and stability.
  • PVA optimization provides a viable strategy for improving flexible strain sensors.
