The invention has the following effects:
(1) the method for preparing the temperature sensing material by the solution infiltration method enables the traditional cotton piece structure to have the characteristics of hydrophobicity, waterproofness and conductivity at the same time, and is simple, easy to operate and lower and low in cost.
(2) From the preparation of a temperature sensing material by a solution infiltration method to the preparation of a P (VDF-HFP) hydrophobic and waterproof substrate layer structure by electrostatic spinning, the whole flexible temperature sensing not only can be waterproof, but also has a full-breathable structure, and can meet the requirements of human skin on wearable comfort.
(3) Based on the temperature sensing material, the material not only has the natural three-dimensional net structure of the traditional cotton sheet structure, but also has the conductive characteristics of rGO and CNT. Therefore, when the temperature of the external environment changes, the three-dimensional network structure deforms, i.e., expands and contracts with heat, thereby resulting in an increase and decrease in the volume of the device. Because the volume of the rGO and CNT conductive filler is unchanged, the resistance value of the device can be increased and decreased along with the increase and decrease of the volume of the device, and the monitoring of an external environment temperature signal is realized.
(4) The real-time response and display system of the flexible temperature sensor to the temperature signal is built, the breathing state of the human body can be monitored in real time, and the system has important significance for the development of wearable medical care systems.
