Abstract Sodium alginate (SA), as the eco-friendly and human-safe biomass material not only can achieve effective dispersion of graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs), but also improve the interaction between GnPs and cellulose macromolecules. Based on this, a flexible and wearable GnPs/cellulose strain sensor with a special 2 9 2 double rib knitted fabric structure (KFGS) was prepared by a simple dip-coating method that could be used on a large scale. The KFGS exhibited dual sensing performance with high sensitivity (25.32 kPa-1 at 3 kPa pressure, gauge factor Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (https://doi.org/10.1007/s10570-020-03401-5) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Introduction With the increasing popularity of wearable electronic devices in daily life, the development of wearable structural substrates and sensing materials for constructing a good interaction between the human body and electronic devices had also attracted more attention (Jayathilaka et al. 2019; Liu et al. 2017). Textiles with inherent flexibility and wearable characteristics are ideal platforms for monitoring human motion, collecting and converting vital signs signals, and are also known as electronic textiles (E-textiles) (Jin et al. 2019). Generally, it is easy to construct the electronic textiles by embedding electronic components directly into textiles, but rigid electronic components often lead to the structural mismatches with flexible textile substrates. Integration of textile structures (e.g. yarns (Yan et al. 2018), woven fabric (Liu et al. 2019c, a, b),
