We report highly sensitive, tunable, and durable strain sensors based on a simple structure consisting of a multilayered film of gold (Au) nanosheets as a sensing layer on a highly stretchable Ecoflex substrate. The high sensitivity of the sensor at different levels of strain was achieved by control...
