Description

Conductive composition, conductive elastomer film, and flexible pressure sensor
Technical Field
The invention relates to a conductive composition, in particular to a conductive composition which can be used for a flexible pressure sensor.
Background
As flexible pressure sensors have been studied extensively, their critical application in the fields of artificial skin, wearable electronics, health monitoring, etc. has attracted considerable attention. The pressure sensor is classified into a capacitive type, a piezoelectric type and a resistive type according to a sensing principle, wherein the resistive type pressure sensor is widely used due to advantages of simple manufacturing process, convenience in signal acquisition and the like.
At present, flexible pressure sensors are mostly realized by using flexible silica gel as a base material, and sensing principles of resistive pressure sensors are generally divided into two types: firstly, the piezoresistive effect of the material is utilized, namely, the resistance change is caused by the change of the number of conductive paths in the material along with the increase of external pressure; and secondly, the contact area of the electrode and the surface pattern of the pressure sensitive layer is changed along with the increase of the external pressure of the sensor, so that the change of resistance is caused.
The surface of the patterned silica gel film substrate prepared from the conductive material is used as a sensitive layer, and when pressure is applied, the corresponding pattern deformation causes the change of the contact area with the electrode, and then causes the change of resistance, so that the pressure sensing is realized. But the measurement range of the pressure sensor is limited due to the limited deformation of the pattern during the application of the external force. In addition, the sensitivity is high in the low pressure range, and decreases rapidly with increasing pressure. Therefore, this type of sensor has the characteristics of high sensitivity and narrow measurement range.
While the former sensitive layer is typically a conductive elastomer, the piezoresistive material is obtained by incorporating a conductive material into a non-conductive silicone, and the number of conductive pathways inside the sensor sensitive layer is changed by applying pressure, thereby changing the conductivity. The piezoresistive material is prepared by doping Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs), graphene (graphene), silver nanowires (AgNWs) or conductive carbon black serving as conductive fillers into a silica gel material to obtain a conductor. The conductive filler is dispersed in the matrix to form a conductive network, when external force is applied, the conductive material is pressed, the space between the conductive fillers in the conductive material is reduced, and the conductive paths are increased, so that the output resistance of the sensor is reduced, and the piezoresistive performance is realized.
The sensor using the piezoresistive effect widens the measurement range but reduces the sensitivity compared to the second device using the deformation of the surface pattern of the force sensitive layer to effect the sensing. The conductive elastomer piezoresistive material obtained by adding the filler has low conductivity and limited contact points of conductive particles in unit volume. The number of conductive paths increases more slowly when less pressure is applied, affecting the sensor sensitivity, and with increasing pressure, the compressibility of the elastomeric material can still increase the conductive paths within the material, but its sensitivity continues to decrease over a larger pressure range. In addition, most of the above fillers are materials with high manufacturing cost, which limits the possibility of mass production. Therefore, the flexible pressure sensor with low cost, simple manufacturing process, low detection limit, high sensitivity and wide measurement range is prepared and is a research target of researchers.
