Current research about resistive sensors is rarely focusing on improving the strain range and linearity of resistance-strain dependence. In this paper, a bi-sheath buckled structure is designed containing buckled carbon nanotube sheets and buckled rubber on rubber fiber. Strain decrease results in increasing buckle contact by the rubber interlayer and a large decrease in resistance. The resulting strain sensor can be reversibly stretched to 600%, undergoing a linear resistance increase as large as 102% for 0-200% strain and 160% for 200-600% strain. This strain sensor shows high linearity, fast response time, high resolution, excellent stability, and almost no hysteresis.
