With the rapid development of wearable electronics, a multifunctional and flexible strain sensor is urgently required. Even though enormous progress has been achieved in designing high-performance strain sensors, the conflict between high sensitivity and a large workable range still restricts their further advance. Herein, a "point to point" conductive network is proposed to design and fabricate a carbon black/polyaniline nanoparticles/thermoplastic polyurethane film (CPUF). The designed structure renders CPUF composites with a wide sensitive range (up to 680% strain), highly sensitive response with a low detection limit of 0.03% strain, and high gauge factor (GF) of 3030.8, together with good sensing stability, fast response/recovery time (80 ms/95 ms), and good durability even after 10000 stretching/releasing cycles. CPUF composites are assembled as wearable strain sensors with the ability of precisely detecting full-range human motions and organic solvents, showing a potential application in human-machine interaction and environmental monitoring.
