Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
In the following examples, the enzyme-based sensor and various stock solutions were stored in a refrigerator at 4 ℃ before and after use.
In the following examples, PDMS monomers and polymerizers are used, commercially available from Dow Corning Inc. (Sylgard 184).
Examples
(1) Preparation of PVDF/PDMS hollow filtering template
(a) Weighing 4g (mass ratio of 10:1) of commercially available PDMS monomer and polymerization agent, placing in a plastic culture dish, stirring with a glass rod to disperse uniformly (a large amount of bubbles are released during the polymerization process), removing bubbles with a vacuum pump to obtain PDMS inkpad, and storing in a refrigerator (4 deg.C).
(b) First, an electrode array pattern (in which the diameter of the working electrode is 3mm) was drawn by software such as Potoshop, and the electrode array pattern was printed on a parchment paper by a Hewlett packard laser printer (M1005,1200X 600dpi) to obtain an electrode array mask. Subsequently, the photosensitive stamp pad, the PET transparent film, and the electrode array mask were sequentially placed on the glass panel of the exposure cassette (electrode array mask printing side down), and then the exposure cassette was tightly pressed and closed with a handle. And finally, placing the exposure box in a photosensitive seal machine, and once exposing by strong light emitted by a built-in xenon lamp, so that an electrode array or a patterned Photosensitive Seal (PS) can be constructed on the photosensitive seal pad, wherein the bright black area of the PS is closed, and the gray unsealed area can store PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) "inkpad", so that the electrode array or the pattern can be transferred to a target substrate during imprinting.
(c) The patterned PS was placed in a hydrophobic PDMS "stamp" for 15min of absorption (with the PS patterned side facing the PDMS, the PS could spontaneously absorb the PDMS to saturation due to capillary action). Then, a press is used to apply a certain pressure to the patterned Ps (PDMS) to transfer the hollow pattern of the PDMS onto the surface of the PVDF filter membrane. And finally, curing the PDMS patterned PVDF filter membrane at 80 ℃ for 2h to obtain the PVDF/PDMS hollow filtering template.

Preparation of SWCNTs dispersion: under the condition of room temperature, 60mg of SWCNTs are placed in 5mM 500mL of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) surfactant aqueous solution, and ultrasonic dispersion is carried out for 2h (regular uniform stirring is required); after the ultrasonic dispersion was allowed to stand for 2 days, the upper layer of stably dispersed SWCNTs solution was collected for further use (about 0.06mg mL)-1)。
Preparing the SWCNTs/PDMS-based electrode array by vacuum filtration and transfer printing of the SWCNTs electrode array: firstly, placing a patterned PVDF/PDMS hollow filtering template in an ethanol solution for soaking for 5min, then washing and replacing ethanol with a large amount of secondary water, and soaking the template in the secondary water for 20min to maintain the hydrophilic capacity of the filter membrane in the area not sealed by PDMS. Subsequently, 5mL of the SWCNTs dispersion solution was diluted to 50mL of the twoAnd (2) after the treatment of the secondary water for 10min by ultrasonic treatment, pouring the diluted SWCNTs dispersion liquid into a stainless steel vacuum filter device assembled with a patterned PVDF/PDMS hollow filter template at a constant speed, so that a patterned SWCNTs electrode array can be selectively deposited in a specific area on the surface of a template filter membrane, washing off redundant surfactant SDS by using a large amount of secondary water, and drying at 60 ℃ for 30min for later use. Next, a flexible substrate PDMS (0.33g cm) was spread evenly over the surface of the patterned SWCNTs electrode array-2) And then curing the PVDF/PDMS hollow filtering template for 2 hours at 80 ℃ to completely strip the PVDF/PDMS hollow filtering template, so as to obtain the SWCNTs/PDMS-based electrode array with flexibility and tensile properties.
Preparation of SWCNTs-Pt flexible electrode array (i.e., SWCNTs-based flexible electrode array): placing the SWCNTs/PDMS-based electrode array in a medium containing 5mM H2PtCl6Uniformly modifying Pt nanoparticles on the surface of SWCNTs (SWCNTs-Pt) by a constant potential deposition method through-0.1V potential deposition for 5min in 0.1M HCl solution, washing with secondary water, and drying at 60 ℃ for 30min for later use.

The intelligent wearable sensor also comprises a signal acquisition and processing circuit system, a power supply module and a display module; the electrode sensing array, the signal acquisition and processing circuit system and the display module are all electrically connected with the power module (as shown in fig. 11). The external connection wires that make the electrical connection need to be insulated to avoid electrical contact of their circuitry with the skin or perspiration that may be present.
Wherein, the electrode sensing array is contacted with a water-absorbing sponge or a sweat-absorbing patch for collecting sweat in real time, and the sensing interface is efficiently collected to the sweat through capillary action along with glucose, lactic acid and Na in the sweat+Or K+The concentration of the targets changes to generate four paths of corresponding electrochemical response signals, wherein the first working electrode and the second working electrode generate current signals, and the third working electrode and the fourth working electrode generate voltage signals; in the signal acquisition and processing circuit system, an electrochemical response signal is converted into a singlechip-readable electrochemical response signal after being processed by a voltage buffer, a differential amplifier and a fourth-order low-pass filter, then the electrochemical response signal is intelligently read by a powerful ADC (analog-to-digital converter) function of the singlechip, a read target concentration signal is wirelessly transmitted to a customized mobile phone APP through a Bluetooth module, and four targets (glucose, lactic acid and Na) are transmitted in the form of the mobile phone APP+Or K+) The concentration of (c) is presented in real time.
In the embodiment, an STM32F103C8T6 model 32-bit singlechip manufactured by Italian semiconductor corporation is selected as a control center of a processor, mainly used as an ADC functional module of STM32, and four external channels of two ADCs are used for alternately measuring 4 target analytes (glucose, lactic acid, Na+Or K+) The concentration of (c). Wherein, the Bluetooth module adopts a CC2541 chip of American Ti company; the power supply block adopts a commercial rechargeable lithium battery with the rated voltage of 5.0V, and the battery and circuit board interface adopts a common USB power supply port on the market.

For Na+Sensor and K+The potential range of direct output between the sensors and the reference electrode is between 0 and 3.3V, so that extra signal amplification is not needed, but signals at two input ends are converted into a signal by a differential subtraction operation circuit, then clutter is filtered by a fourth-order low-pass filter circuit, and finally the clutter is led into an ADC module to read a voltage signal value. The four signal conditioning channels described above (corresponding to the four working electrodes, respectively) exhibit good linear response with each target in sweat, as demonstrated by FIG. 6; in addition, in order to eliminate voltage offset and other non-ideal effects and obtain accurate signal readings, the original input signals are mapped to analog circuit readings by means of accurate digital linear relation between output and input, so that subsequent signal calibration and processing are allowed to be carried out at a software level, after data are processed and averaged, the data are relayed to a Bluetooth module through an MCU (microprogrammed control unit) for wireless transmission and are output to a display module such as a mobile phone APP.

In addition, continuous exercise allows for Na in her sweat+The content was significantly increased from 40mM to 80mM, while K+The content was significantly reduced from 9mM to 4.5 mM.
