Abstract

Abstract : An inexpensive biocompatible strain sensor constituting of an elastomer filled with natural coconut oil and carbon black is shown by Pasindu Lugoda and co‐workers in article number 2000780 . The easily manufacturable and eco‐friendly fabrication technique enables the creation of strain sensors in environments where standard electronic/chemical fabrication facilities are unavailable, like in schools and developing countries. These devices stretch to 1035% and are utilized for smart textile applications.
