In this work, a high-performance fiber strain sensor is fabricated by constructing a double percolated structure, consisting of carbon nanotube (CNT)/thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) continuous phase and styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) phase, incompatible with TPU (CNT/TPU@SBS). Compared with other...
