Abstract In this report, high sensitivity pressure and temperature sensors are demonstrated based on a single common active material of poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT)-coated elastic carbon foam (ECF) for bio-signal monitoring. A conductive microporous elastic foam is obtained via direct carbonization of a commercially available melamine foam at 700 °C and a subsequent dip coating with P3HT. The design incorporating interdigitated electrodes on the bottom of the P3HT-coated ECF is used to fabricate a high-performance pressure sensor with a high pressure sensitivity of 102.4 kPa−1 (
