Nanocomposite strain sensors composed of compressed honeycomb-like reduced-graphene-oxide (RGO) foam embedded in polydimethylsiloxane are facilely fabricated via unidirectional freeze-drying and simple mechanical compression. The microstructural characteristics of the nanocomposites endow the sensor...
