1. preparing highdensity tactile sensor array using vertical orientated zinc oxide (ZnO) nano wire, stretching is utilized Under the conditions of zinc oxide nanowire generate piezoelectric effect, using piezoelectric current as grid electric signal, it is only necessary to two terminal electrodes In the case of obtained the electronic skin sensor with detection sensitivity.
2. with the film that the hollow ball polypyrrole polymers of elastic, the low modulus micro-structure of heterogeneous reaction generation form, with Contact area between the size film and electrode puted forth effort changes and detects different size of load.
3. being designed by structure and shape, traditional inorganic material such as metal can be utilized, three-dimensional " wave " knot is made in silicon substrate etc. The flexible conducting element of structure.Enable traditional inorganic conductive material with the extension of elastic substrates and elongation strain but not The destructions such as fracture occur.
4. forming the interlocking small-sized domes array of pressure resistance type using PDMS and carbon nanotube (CNT), one kind is developed Can be with the electronic skin of sensed pressure method, this transducer sensitivity is high, it might even be possible to perceive the direction of air stream and strong Degree.
5. the array of pressure sensors based on piezoresistive principles, the round sensing unit quilt of dispersion are made using pressure drag rubber It is arranged on flexible PET thin slices, silver is used to make the electrode of sensor since the flexibility of making material realizes sensor array The flexibility of row.
Although above-mentioned strain transducer has certain flexibility, it can not still realize and optionally stretch, be bent and turn round Turn to wait specific forms.Lack class it is dermatoid flexible, it is impossible to completely fitting 3 D complex it is quiet/dynamic surface while complete The measurement of contact.Even if being integrated into wearable device, due to, in the presence of mismatch mechanically, making with human skin surface The experience effect for obtaining user is bad.In addition, because of the limitation of structure design and encapsulation technology so that the accuracy of measurement and sensitive Degree cannot be taken into account.Easily interfered by the physiological signal of human body itself.For current carbon nanotube and graphene etc. for soft The material preparation technology horizontal techniques of property sensor are also immature, and there is also non-refractory, the scope of application, service life etc. are asked Topic.
