Description

High-sensitivity and wide-range composite conductive nanofiber aerogel sensor and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of sensors, in particular to a high-sensitivity and wide-range composite conductive nanofiber aerogel sensor and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The sensitivity and the measuring range are two important performance parameters of the sensor, and the sensitivity and the measuring range are generally in an opposite relationship of mutual restriction, so that the comprehensive requirements of people on the two aspects cannot be met in many occasions. The patent refers to the field of 'compositions of macromolecular compounds'. Therefore, the magnetorheological elastomer (actually, the conductive composite material) formed by mixing tiny conductive (and/or magnetic conductive) particles with insulating organisms becomes a novel pressure-capacitance/piezoresistive pressure or strain sensitive material, and the principle is that the spatial distribution of the microscopic conductive particles is rearranged under the compression action of pressure/strain, so that the dielectric constant or the conductivity of the sensitive material is remarkably changed, and the pressure/strain sensor manufactured by the method has wide range and better sensitivity. In particular, the conductive composite material prepared under the magnetic field condition can obtain ultrahigh sensitivity which is one to two orders of magnitude higher than that of the traditional sensitive material by establishing a magnetic chain type microstructure on the microstructure, and has wide range due to the increased Young modulus of particle filling. However, the high sensitivity of such conductive composite materials is embodied in a large pressure range, and the sensitivity in a small pressure range in the initial stage is not ideal. The degree of particle rearrangement is a key factor affecting the sensitivity of such conductive composites, i.e., macroscopic pressure effects deform the material by compression, causing the microscopic particle distribution to rearrange such that neighboring particles re-pair into a large number of new microcapacitors or channels, thereby dramatically affecting the macroscopic capacitance or resistance of the sensitive material. Therefore, the large scale of particle rearrangement occurs depending on whether the macroscopic strain of the material is significant under the pressure, which is why the sensitivity in the small pressure range is small in the initial stage.
In order to overcome the above technical drawbacks, researchers have proposed increasing sensitivity by increasing particle volume fraction and using nanoparticle packing (both increasing the number of particles rearranged), employing preparation conditions for magnetic chaining (increasing the local particle volume fraction), but the beneficial sensitivity increase is still mainly in the large pressure range, while sensitivity in the small pressure range remains difficult to meet, especially the method of packing nanoparticles also significantly reduces the range. Therefore, the balance between sensitivity and measuring range is difficult to be considered by simply changing the formula of the material, and the difficulty and the cost in the process are higher. Under the condition of a certain volume fraction of the particles, the sensitive material is easy to deform, so that the particle rearrangement degree is improved (so that the sensitivity is improved), and the difficulty in deformation means that the upper limit of the resistance of the sensitive material to the external pressure is increased (namely the range is increased), and other flexible sensitive materials generally have the characteristic. In response to this fact, a highly sensitive and wide range pressure sensor is needed.
Furthermore, a sensitive material usually has a high sensitivity only in a certain pressure range, below which the sensitivity is lower, above which the sensitivity is also lower or saturation has occurred. Thus, if the combination of sensing units with high sensitivity in different pressure ranges is used, high sensitivity can be achieved in the whole range from low to high pressure and still obtain a wide range, and the key of the structural combination is how to make the different sensing units function by being pressed in a certain order in their effective pressure ranges.
