According to the present disclosure, a conductive polymer composite and a strain gauge are provided. The conductive polymer composite includes poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate and waterborne polyurethane, and the conductive polymer composite is homogeneous. The strain gauge includes a substrate and a strain sensitive layer. The substrate has a surface, and the strain sensitive layer is connected to the surface of the substrate. The strain sensitive layer is made of the aforementioned conductive polymer composite, and the strain sensitive layer has at least four separations arranged in a staggered way and forms bow-like structures, which makes the strain sensitive layer deform more in a first direction than a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. |
