Figure 5. (a) Relative resistance changes of composite films with and without PEDOT:PSS layers as a function of tensile strains. (b) Gauge factor of the composite film with the PEDOT:PSS layer. Relative resistance changes of composite films with and without PEDOT:PSS layers as a function of (c) stretching-releasing cycles (strain: 30%), (d) bending cycles(bending radius: 4 mm), (e) the number of tape attach-detach test. Real-time relative resistance changes of the PEDOT:PSS-coated films induced by f)compressing free-standing films (weight: 10 and 20 gram) and (g) touching by finger. Relative resistance changes of composite films with and without PEDOT:PSS layers, which are dipped in (h) ethanol and (i) IPA.
