Non-infectious chronic diseases such as hypertension, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and the like seriously threaten the health of human beings. Among them, about 3 hundred million patients with hypertension in China have the symptoms of dizziness, tinnitus and palpitation, and serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, monitoring and control of blood pressure is particularly important. In recent years, the emergence of wearable intelligent medical devices has brought gospel to hypertensive patients, and at the same time, the wearable intelligent medical devices also provide a platform for flexible capacitive pressure sensors.
A capacitive pressure sensor is a device that converts an external pressure applied to the sensor into a change in capacitance. According to the classical capacitance formula C ═ epsilon·S/d it is known that the pressure exerted on the sensor causes the thickness of the dielectric layer to become smaller, i.e. the distance d between the parallel capacitive plates becomes smaller, resulting in an increase in capacitance. It can be easily understood that the larger the amount of deformation of the distance d, the larger the increment of the capacitance C, and thusThis highly flexible material has advantages in the fabrication of capacitive pressure sensors.
