FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What are elastic stretchable strain sensors?

Stretchable strain sensors are flexible electronic sensors that measure deformation, stretching, bending, or compression while remaining fully functional. Our sensors are manufactured by printing liquid metal conductive ink onto an elastic substrate, allowing them to stretch together with the material. They are ideal for applications requiring high flexibility and mechanical durability.

Where are stretchable strain sensors used?

Stretchable strain sensors are widely used in:

  • Wearable electronics
  • Electronic skin (e-skin)
  • Soft robotics
  • Smart textiles and smart fabrics
  • Human motion tracking
  • Healthcare and rehabilitation devices
  • Sports performance monitoring
  • Virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR)
  • Industrial deformation monitoring
  • Research and prototyping

What types of stretchable sensors do you offer?

Our technology supports multiple sensing principles depending on the application:

  • Resistive - measure changes in electrical resistance during deformation.
  • Capacitive - measure changes in capacitance caused by stretching or compression.

Can the sensor be customized for my application?

Yes. Since our sensors are fabricated using printed liquid metal electronics on stretchable elastomers, they can be customized for specific applications.

Can you print custom electrode patterns?

Yes, we can manufacture custom electrode geometries optimized for your application.

What materials are used in the elastic sensors?

Our stretchable sensors are manufactured using gallium-based liquid metal conductive ink printed onto highly elastic polymer substrates. This combination provides excellent electrical conductivity while maintaining flexibility, stretchability, and long-term mechanical reliability.

What is the operating strain range?

0–100% strain

What is the measurement resolution?

0.01% strain

What is the repeatability?

ΔR/R < 1% after 10,000 cycles at 50% strain

What is the response time?

Less than 0.1 ms. This ultra-fast response enables accurate measurement of rapid human movements, vibrations, and dynamic mechanical events.

What is the operating temperature?

−15 °C to +80 °C

What is the Young's modulus?

10 MPa

Are these printed flexible electronics?

Yes. Our sensors belong to the field of printed flexible electronics and stretchable electronics. By printing liquid metal conductive ink onto elastic substrates, we create lightweight, conformable sensors that maintain electrical performance even under significant mechanical deformation.

Why use liquid metal instead of conventional conductive materials?

Liquid metal conductors maintain electrical continuity even under large strains, making them well suited for highly stretchable electronics. Compared with conventional metal foils or rigid printed traces, liquid metal sensors can offer improved flexibility, durability, and mechanical compliance for wearable and soft robotic applications.
