Background
The growing interest in artificial intelligence, human-machine interfaces and electronic skins has driven the development of flexible electronic technology. Flexible electronics technology includes two important components: electronic skins and flexible wearable devices. The key to implementing electronic skin and flexible wearable devices is a high performance flexible sensor. The traditional strain sensor material is generally made of metal or inorganic material, has the defects of high hysteresis, small detection range, easy influence of environmental noise and the like, and can not meet the material requirement of a high-strain sensor. Therefore, the development of the flexible strain sensor with multifunction, high sensitivity, quick response and low cost has important practical significance. The conductive composite material assembled by the flexible elastomer and the proton polymer can generate high deformation and can be applied to flexible strain sensors and wearable equipment.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a novel method for preparing a strain sensor material with a sponge structure aiming at the defects of the existing sensing material. Firstly, the PDMS sponge is prepared by taking the cubic sugar as a sacrificial template. To conductively modify the PDMS sponge, the surface was activated using an oxygen plasma treatment of the PDMS sponge to effectively attach the proton polymer to the PDMS sponge. Finally, the modified PDMS is clamped between two flexible electrodes to prepare the flexible strain sensor.
The specific technical scheme for realizing the purpose of the invention is as follows:
a preparation method of a PDMS sponge-based strain sensor comprises the following steps:
(1) soaking different specifications of square sugar into a mixture of polydimethylsiloxane PDMS prepolymer and curing agent with the mass ratio of 9-11:1, vacuum degassing for 1-2h to form a PDMS-square sugar mixture, heating and curing the PDMS-square sugar mixture at 90-100 ℃ for 2h, heating in deionized water at 60-70 ℃ for 6h after complete curing to completely dissolve the water-soluble sacrificial template square sugar, and drying at 60-80 ℃ for 2h to obtain PDMS sponge;
(2) treating PDMS sponge for 10-15 minutes by adopting oxygen plasma to activate the surface, then soaking the PDMS sponge into a polyvinyl alcohol-acid aqueous solution for 10-20min, wherein the mass fraction of polyvinyl alcohol in the aqueous solution is 8-10%, the mass fraction of acid is 5-20%, taking out the sponge, extruding the excess solution, repeating the soaking-extruding process for 3-4 times, and then curing for 24 hours at the constant temperature of 25 ℃ to obtain the PDMS sponge attached with the proton polymer;
(3) and clamping PDMS sponge attached with the proton polymer between the two flexible electrodes to obtain the PDMS sponge-based strain sensor.
In the step (1), the mixture of the polydimethylsiloxane PDMS prepolymer and the curing agent is placed into a beaker to be uniformly stirred after the PDMS prepolymer and the curing agent are weighed according to the mass ratio of 9-11:1, and bubbles generated by stirring are removed by ultrasonic.
In the step (2), the preparation method of the polyvinyl alcohol-acid aqueous solution comprises the following steps: magnetically stirring 8-10 wt% of polyvinyl alcohol aqueous solution at 90 deg.C for 2h to completely dissolve polyvinyl alcohol, cooling to room temperature, adding 5-20 wt% of acid, magnetically stirring for 2h, and mixing to obtain polyvinyl alcohol-acid aqueous solution.

(1) according to the invention, PDMS sponge with a developed void structure is prepared by using the common sugar cube in life as a water-soluble sacrificial template, so that the deformation capability of the material is greatly improved.
(2) Because PDMS has high hydrophobicity, the invention firstly carries out plasma treatment on PDMS sponge to activate the surface, and effectively attaches the proton polymer to the PDMS sponge.
(3) The proton polymer is attached to the PDMS sponge, so that the non-conductive PDMS sponge is subjected to conductive modification.

FIG. 2 shows that the strain sensor responds to 80% under 10% deformation cycle compression-release, and the sponge has high response speed and high sensitivity in the 10% compression-release process; and the resistance change trend remained well stable and repeatable over 13 compression-release cycles. FIG. 3 shows that the strain sensor response changes up to 94.5% with a significant change in resistance at 60% deformation cycle compression-release; and the resistance change trend can still keep good stability and repeatability in 15 compression-release cycles. Fig. 4 is a photograph of the sensor used for pulse measurement, fig. 5 is a sensor response curve, it can be seen that there are 9 pulse responses within 6.5s, that is, 83 pulse beats within 1 minute, which is consistent with the pulse frequency of a healthy adult, and fig. 6 is a section of intercepted resistance response curve, which can clearly see the pulse head wave, the tidal wave and the heavy pulse wave, which shows that the sensor can respond well to the tiny deformation such as the pulse beats.
