AB  - Graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) hybrid films 
      were prepared with the aid of surfactant Triton X-100 and sonication through a 
      vacuum filtration process. The influence of GNP content ranging from 0 to 50 wt.% 
      on the mechanical and electrical properties was investigated using the tensile 
      test and Hall effect measurement, respectively. It showed that the tensile 
      strength of the hybrid film is decreasing with the increase of the GNP content 
      while the electrical conductivity exhibits an opposite trend. The effectiveness 
      of the MWCNT/GNP hybrid film as a strain sensor is presented. The specimen is 
      subjected to a flexural loading, and the electrical resistance measured by a 
      two-point probe method is found to be function of applied strain. Experimental 
      results demonstrate that there are two different linear strain-sensing stages 
      (0(-)0.2% and 0.2(-)1%) in the resistance of the hybrid film with applied strain. The 
      strain sensitivity is increasing with the increase of the GNP content. In 
      addition, the repeatability and stability of the strain sensitivity of the hybrid 
      film were conformed through the cyclic loading(-)unloading tests. The MWCNT/GNP 
      hybrid film shows promising application for strain sensing.
