Abstract Owing to their high sensitivity across a wide stress range, mechanical reliability, and rapid response time, flexible polymer foam piezoresistive sensors have been extensively used in various fields. The reliable application of these under harsh environments, however, is severely limited by structural devastation poor interfacial bonding between polymers conductive nanoparticles. To address the above issues, robust MXene/CNT nanocoatings on surface, where chemical assembly MXene nanosheets physical anchoring CNTs lead strong bonding, are designed described, which endows foams with reliability unexpected multi‐functionalities without compromising instinct properties. optimized nanocomposites thus maintain outstanding wide‐temperature flexibility (−60–210 °C) elasticity (≈3% residual strain after 1000 cycles). Moreover, display good at relatively range 0–70% remarkable stability acidic alkaline settings. Furthermore, exceptional fire resistance (UL‐94 V‐0 rating) can provide stable sensing behavior (over 300 cycles) even being exposed flames for 5 s, making them one most materials so far. Clearly, this work widens applications based silicone environments.
