description Wearable electronics and soft robotics are emerging fields utilizing soft and stretchable sensors for a variety of wearable applications. In this paper, the fabrication of a highly stretchable capacitive sensor with a printed carbon black/Ecoflex interdigital capacitor is presented. The highly stretchable capacitive sensor was fabricated on a substrate made from barium titanate–Ecoflex(TM) 00-30 composite, and could withstand stretching up to 100%. The designed highly stretchable capacitive sensor was robust, and showed good repeatability and consistency when stretched and relaxed for over 1000 cycles.
