heal.abstract	Strain sensors have been fabricated by depositing platinum nanoparticles between interdigitated gold electrodes on oxidised silicon substrate. A significant improvement in strain sensitivity is achieved with a gauge factor in excess of 700, which is two orders of magnitude higher than continuous metallic films and five times higher than semiconductor devices. The measured resistance is strongly dependant on inter-particle distance, which is altered when the substrate is strained. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.	en
