Description

Textile material-based wearable pressure sensor and manufacturing method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of pressure sensors, and particularly relates to a wearable pressure sensor based on a soot-dust fabric base and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
Flexible pressure sensor as one kind of wearable device, which can imitate human skin feeling or respond to external stimulation, is widely applied in the fields of physiological signal detection and human-computer interaction (M.Ha, S.Lee, H.Ko.Wearable and flexible sensors for user-interactive health-monitoring devices, journal of materials Chemistry B,2018,6(24): 1030-)
Electronic skins, which have great application prospects in The fields of intelligent prosthetics, real-time medical monitoring and diagnosis, artificial intelligence (robots), etc., have been rapidly developed in recent years (Zang, y.zhang, f.di, c. -a.zhu, d., advanced soft receptors aware identity and health care. Materials Horizons 2015,2(2), 140-. Electronic skin is able to mimic the function of human skin by integrating multiple types of sensors for pressure, strain, temperature, humidity, etc. (Chortos, a.liu, j.bao, z., pure therapeutic electronic skin. nature Materials 2016,15(9), 937-. Among them, the pressure sensor is a key sensor in the electronic skin, which can convert the externally applied force into a detectable electrical signal.
The pressure sensor usually adopts a resistance working mode, and generally adopts the following two structures: 1) conductive material/elastomer composite structure: filling a conductive material into the elastomer substrate to form a composite material, and obtaining the pressure information of the composite material through the change of the piezoresistive property of the composite material; 2) a two-electrode structure based on contact resistance. And (3) coating a conductive material on the surfaces of the two elastic bodies, and obtaining the information of the pressure applied by the change of the contact resistance between the two electrodes. Although the pressure sensors with the two structures have the characteristics of simple working principle, low manufacturing cost, low power consumption and the like, the pressure sensors are low in sensitivity, slow in response and serious in temperature drift due to the fact that the elastic body material has high viscoelasticity and high Young modulus. Meanwhile, the currently used elastic materials generally have the problems of poor air permeability and the like, and the long-term contact on the surface of the skin has poor comfort and even causes skin inflammation.
In order to solve the above problems, some solutions have been proposed at present, for example, in patent CN106644189A, a microstructure pressure sensor is proposed to improve the sensitivity of a device, the preparation method of the microstructure pressure sensor includes closely arranging single-layer colloid microspheres on a substrate, depositing a PDMS material on the colloid microspheres, peeling off the PDMS layer after curing, dissolving the colloid microspheres with a solvent to obtain a flexible PDMS template having micro-nano cavities arranged periodically, pouring a mixed solution of carbon nanotubes and PDMS into the micro-nano cavities, forming a flexible conductive composite prefabricated film after curing, peeling off the flexible conductive composite film to obtain a flexible conductive composite film having a periodically arranged single-layer micro-hemisphere array formed on the surface, and manufacturing the flexible pressure sensor using two flexible conductive composite films. The method needs to prepare the colloidal microspheres and use the colloidal microspheres to manufacture the template, and then the template is used for manufacturing the flexible conductive composite film, so that the preparation process is complex.
In addition, patent CN 105758562a proposes that a femtosecond laser is used to obtain a silicon substrate with a microstructure in a chemical vapor deposition system, and then a reverse mold method is used to obtain a microstructure elastomer, so as to realize the preparation of a pressure sensor. The manufacturing cost of the sensor is high due to the fact that a vacuum environment cavity is needed in the preparation process.
Therefore, there is a need for a wearable pressure sensor and a method of manufacturing the same that is simple, efficient, low cost, and has superior performance.
