A flexible strain gauge exhibiting reversible piezoresistivity based on an anisotropic magnetorheological polymer

A flexible, anisotropic and portable stress sensor (logarithmic reversible response between 40-350 kPa) was fabricated, in which i) the sensing material, ii) the electrical contacts and iii) the encapsulating material, were based on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) composites. The sensing material is a s...
