Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are popular in strain sensors due to their exceptional electrical conductivity, flexibility, and sensitivity to deformation. In this study, a high-sensitivity strain sensor was fabricated by spray-coating CNT ink onto various paper substrates, with “lint-free paper” identified as the optimal choice. A total of 10 spray cycles ensured a reliable conductive coating. To enhance durability and broaden application potential, a PET protective layer was incorporated. The sensor's performance was assessed through bending tests using a push-pull gauge across a strain range of 0-2%. The lintfree paper-based sensor exhibited a consistent response up to 1.4% strain. The measured gauge factors (GF) were 121.370 in the 0-0.3% range, 70.999 in the 0.3-0.8% range, and 20.935 in the 0.8-1.4% range. A precise response was also noted when adjusting the bending angle in 1° increments, particularly within the 0-20° range. Additionally, the sensor was tested on the human wrist, confirming its viability for wearable applications. These findings indicate that the lint-free paper-based CNT strain sensor offers high sensitivity and measurement precision within narrow strain ranges. Its lightweight structure and flexible design suggest strong potential for practical use in areas such as sports monitoring and human motion detection.
