AB  - The demands for transparent, flexible electronic devices are continuously 
      increasing due to their potential applications to the human body. In particular, 
      skin-like, transparent, flexible strain sensors have been developed to realize 
      multifunctional human-machine interfaces. Here, we report a sandwich-like 
      structured strain sensor with excellent optical transparency based on highly 
      purified, solution-processed, 99% metallic CNT-polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) 
      composite thin films. Our CNT-PDMS composite strain sensors are mechanically 
      compliant, physically robust, and easily fabricated. The fabricated strain 
      sensors exhibit a high optical transparency of over 92% in the visible range with 
      acceptable sensing performances in terms of sensitivity, hysteresis, linearity, 
      and drift. We also found that the sensitivity and linearity of the strain sensors 
      can be controlled by the number of CNT sprays; hence, our sensor can be applied 
      and controlled based on the need of individual applications. Finally, we 
      investigated the detections of human activities and emotions by mounting our 
      transparent strain sensor on various spots of human skins.
