The traditional semiconductor and metal foil strain gauge has the defects of strong rigidity, low sensitivity, narrow sensing range (5%) and the like, so that the application of the strain gauge in the field of intelligent wearable is limited. However, in the new materials, graphene has the characteristics of lightness, thinness, transparency, excellent conductivity and mechanical properties and the like, and has extremely important and wide application prospects in the aspect of sensing technologies.

A commonly used preparation method of the fiber-based flexible sensor is to uniformly disperse a conductive material in a molten or dissolved flexible matrix, and the conductive material/flexible matrix homogeneous composite fiber can be prepared by various spinning methods, and the method has the advantages of simple operation, low cost, easy large-scale production and the like, but the prepared sensor is not sensitive to small strain, has slow response speed and poor tensile property (epsilon is less than 30%). Another method is to cover or infiltrate conductive material into the surface of the fiber to construct a conductive network to prepare the strain sensor. The interface action of the conductive material and the fiber matrix has an important influence on the performance of the sensor, and the sensitivity of the graphene-based fiber sensor prepared usually is generally low (GF 0.1-30) in the strain range of 0-10%, so that the improvement of the sensitivity of the graphene-based fiber sensor in the small strain range is a great challenge.

The specific implementation scheme is as follows:
the invention will be further illustrated with reference to the following specific examples. It should be understood that these examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Further, it should be understood that various changes or modifications of the present invention may be made by those skilled in the art after reading the teaching of the present invention, and such equivalents may fall within the scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.
The conductive fibrous body is of a chestnut-rice-stick-shaped structure and comprises a base core material, a microsphere/fiber framework layer and a graphene conductive layer which are sequentially arranged from inside to outside. Specifically, the invention adopts a one-dimensional elastomer as a matrix core material, a surface microstructure is constructed by expanded microspheres to form a microsphere/fiber framework layer, and a graphene conductive network is used as a shell to be modified on a micro-convex spherical surface of the graphene conductive network to wrap the framework and fill gaps among the microspheres, so that the chestnut-rod-shaped core-spun fiber structure is prepared.
According to the invention, the 'chestnut-rice-rod' -shaped conductive fibrous body is applied to the preparation of the strain sensor, when the prepared sensor is subjected to deformation such as stretching, bending, twisting and folding under the action of external force, the relative resistance change is caused by the change of the conductive network structure based on the deformation of the expanded microspheres, the flattening of the wrinkled graphene and the expansion of microcracks, and the deformation of the material is detected and indicated by detecting the relative resistance change. In addition, the elastic structure of the three-dimensional chestnut-rice-rod-shaped fiber skeleton and the continuous corrugated graphene conductive network can provide more conductive contact points for stress-strain sensing, have larger deformation space and provide a foundation for the tensile strain of the sensor.
The working mechanism of the strain sensor is as follows:
(1) Under the condition of low strain, when external strain is applied, the sensor is stretched by virtue of the inherent excellent elasticity of the substrate and the hollow microspheres, the microspheres in close contact are gradually pulled apart to generate displacement, and the contact resistance is increased;
(2) Along with the increase of strain, the graphene conducting layer on the outer layer is gradually flattened from a corrugated shape along the direction parallel to the stress direction, the contact points of the graphene conducting network on the outer layer of the adjacent microsphere are reduced, the conducting path is reduced, and the contact resistance is sharply increased;
(3) At very high strains, the sensor expands further and the conductive network develops microcracks, resulting in a further increase in the relative change in resistance. When the strain is released, due to the excellent elastic recovery performance of the framework, the expanded sensor can be recovered to the original state, the microcracks are gradually closed, the graphene layer is recovered to the folded state, and the microspheres are recovered to the dense arrangement, so that the change of the relative resistance of the sensor is reduced and the initial value is recovered. The deformation of the material is detected by detecting the relative resistance change.
In addition, the invention also provides a preparation method of the strain sensor, which mainly comprises the following steps:
step S1, preparing an expanded microsphere/elastic polymer finishing liquid: weighing a certain amount of elastic polymer, adding expanded microspheres, and uniformly dispersing to obtain an expanded microsphere/elastic polymer finishing liquid; wherein, the elastic polymer is as follows by mass: expanded microspheres =1:3% -10%; the foaming temperature of the expanded microspheres is 80-120 ℃, the particle size is 5-10 mu m, and the elastic polymer is any one of aqueous polyurethane, polyvinyl alcohol and polyacrylate water solution;

s3, soaking the intermediate in graphene finishing liquid for 5-10min, drying in a 50 ℃ drying oven, soaking in the graphene finishing liquid for 5-10min, drying in the 50 ℃ drying oven, circulating the step for 1-5 times, and performing chemical reduction treatment to obtain a conductive fiber body; the method comprises the following steps of (1) realizing a raised spherical microstructure modified by a multi-layer graphene coating through the self-assembly combination effect of graphene and an intermediate to obtain a chestnut-rice-rod-shaped fibrous body; wherein the graphene finishing liquid is a graphene oxide aqueous solution, the solid content of the graphene oxide aqueous solution is 5-10mg/mL, and the impregnation time is 5-10min; removing oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of the graphene oxide by chemical reduction reaction, recovering a pi-pi conjugated structure, enhancing the strength and conductivity of the matrix, and obtaining a chestnut-rod-shaped conductive fibrous body with the reduced graphene oxide as a conductive carrier;
and S4, connecting two ends of the conductive fiber body with copper wires by using conductive silver paste, and connecting the conductive fiber body with an external power supply after the conductive silver paste is solidified to obtain the strain sensor.
In the preparation method, the expanded microspheres and the conductive silver paste are purchased from the market, wherein the model of the expanded microspheres is F-48 (Nippon Songban grease pharmaceutical Co., ltd.), and the model of the conductive silver paste is 3812 (Shenzhen Xinwei electronic materials Co., ltd.).

The strain sensor prepared by the invention is respectively tested for tensile property test, human motion detection, human health monitoring and the like, and the specific operation is as follows:
(1) And (3) testing tensile property: the strain sensor prepared in this example generates strain by unidirectionally stretching a sample with a TC-DLJ-PC microcomputer controlled testing machine, and tests resistance change conditions and performance stability under cyclic stretching under different stretching strains with a DM3068 digital multimeter, and the test results are shown in fig. 5-7. Wherein, the sensor is stretched from the initial length to the required length and then is restored to the initial length in one stretching cycle.
As can be seen from FIG. 5, the sensor has a wide strain detection range of 0-100%, and the relative resistance change rate increases with the increase of strain. The sensitivity factor is 118.24 at 0.5% -20% strain, 331.32 at 20% -80% strain, and 904.77 at 80% -100% strain. The sensor has a wide strain range, can detect the motion state of a human body, has a relative resistance change rate of 57.75% under 0.5% weak tensile deformation, and provides possibility for detecting weak signal change.
As can be seen from fig. 6, the response time of the sensor is 87.4ms, and the quick response is undoubtedly helpful for monitoring the health index of the human body in real time.
Figure 7 shows that the performance stability under cyclic stretching, the resistance change of the sensor remains around 2180% after 2000 stretch-release cycles, indicating that the sensor has excellent cyclic stability performance in terms of strain response, providing potential for further practical application of the sensor.
(2) Human motion detection: the strain sensor prepared in this example was attached to the knee to monitor and identify the movements of the knee joint such as jogging, sprinting and jumping, and the test results are shown in fig. 8. As can be seen from fig. 8, when the knee joint is bent, the resistance of the sensor starts to increase correspondingly, which has excellent repeatable responsiveness to the movement of the knee joint, and the peak value and the width of the curve are different in different movement states. Similarly, the sensor can identify the motion state of the human body according to various response curves.
(3) Monitoring the human health: the strain sensor prepared in this example was attached to the neck of a human body to monitor throat vibration, and the test results are shown in fig. 9. As can be seen from fig. 9, when the human body performs swallowing and coughing actions, the sensor will show corresponding response curves, the peaks and widths of which are different. The sensor is fixed on the wrist to monitor the human pulse, and the test result is shown in fig. 10. As can be seen from fig. 10, the strain sensor prepared in this embodiment can clearly detect the heart rate physiological signals of the human body, and the inset shows the characteristic peak of typical human body pulse waveforms corresponding to the shock wave (P wave), the tidal wave (T wave), and the diastolic wave (D wave). The result shows that the strain sensor prepared by the embodiment can be used for monitoring human body pulse beating, throat vibration and other fine human body motions, and further can realize real-time monitoring on various health conditions of a human body. Indicating that it has important and diverse potential in wearable electronics, health monitoring and smart robots.

Compared with example 1, the elastic fiber strain sensor prepared in comparative example 1 has lower sensitivity because the change of the relative resistance is only related to the expansion and closing of the microcracks during the strain process, and the structural change and the change of the conductive network are not obvious, so the sensor is not sensitive to the stimulation under small strain.
The specific raw materials listed in the invention, the upper and lower limits of the raw materials and the process parameters and the values of the intervals can realize the invention, and the examples are not listed. The features of the embodiments and embodiments described herein above may be combined with each other without conflict.
The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention, and any modifications, equivalents, improvements and the like that fall within the spirit and principle of the present invention are intended to be included therein.
