Recently, various piezoresistive composites with good flexibility have been developed as sensing materials for flexible strain sensors (FSSs). External forces will be applied to strain sensors when they are used in some circumstances such as wrist bending, etc. However, conventional flexible composites may fail upon being subjected to external forces since they have low strength and are unable to protect the inner vulnerable structure of flexible sensors. In this work, the reduced graphene oxide-coated glass fabric (RGO@GF)/silicone composite is fabricated and used to make high-performance structural flexible strain sensors. The composite is not only flexible and sensitive to strain, but also exhibits the high tensile strength needed to maintain the structural integrity of the flexible strain sensor. Silicone resin and GF employed to provide flexibility and high strength, respectively. By coating RGO on the surface of GF, the nonconductive GF becomes conductive, which renders the piezoresistive behavior and strain-sensing ability to the RGO@GF/silicone composite. The as-prepared structural flexible sensor not only possesses a good strain sensitivity with a gauge factor of around 113, which is much higher than that of typical strain sensors based on metals, but can also maintain its structural integrity until the applied external force is over 800 N, while the conventional flexible strain sensor fails upon being subjected to an external force of only 5 N. Moreover, the as-prepared structural FSS is applied to monitor wrist movement and breathing to demonstrate its applicability. Overall, the RGO@GF/silicone composite exhibits great potential as a sensing material for structural FSSs for wrist movement, etc.
