Abstract
A new method for fabricating textile integrable capacitive soft strain sensors is reported, based on multicore–shell fiber printing. The fiber sensors consist of four concentric, alternating layers of conductor and dielectric, respectively. These wearable sensors provide accurate and hysteresis-free strain measurements under both static and dynamic conditions.Keywords
