Description

Self-supporting stretchable piezoelectric film, ultrasonic sensor and preparation method of ultrasonic sensor
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of ultrasonic detection and ultrasonic imaging, in particular to a self-supporting stretchable piezoelectric film applied to an ultrasonic detection and ultrasonic imaging system, an ultrasonic sensor and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Because of the noninvasive, high-precision, high-sensitivity and strong penetrating power of ultrasonic detection and ultrasonic imaging technologies, the ultrasonic detection and ultrasonic imaging technology has been widely applied to a plurality of fields such as industrial nondestructive detection, life health monitoring and material analysis. However, most of the ultrasonic sensors developed at present are rigid sensors with flat bottoms, the sensors can be in parallel interface contact with a plane sample to be measured, and most of the rigid sensors are provided with an acoustic matching layer at the front end of the sensor to realize acoustic matching between the sample to be measured and the sensor, and the requirements on the thickness of the matching layer are high (the acoustic wave transmission efficiency is high when the thickness of the matching layer is generally 0.25λ), but the manufacturing process of the sensor is obviously complicated. In addition, the rigid planar sensor cannot achieve good interface contact with the irregular non-planar sample to be measured, and a large amount of couplant is often required to eliminate the air gap between the sensor and the sample to be measured. The use of the couplant can significantly suppress or even cancel out a significant amount of energy loss in the response echo in the ultrasonic signal and the transmission of the acoustic wave between interfaces, making it difficult to further improve the accuracy of the final detection result.
Thus, the preparation of flexible stretchable ultrasonic sensors is an important ring for improving the test accuracy of samples to be tested having irregular contours. The flexible stretchable piezoelectric film, which is a core element of the flexible stretchable ultrasonic sensor, is also a hot spot and a difficult point in research in recent years. The stretchable ultrasonic sensor and the stretchable piezoelectric film developed at present are mostly provided with stretchable properties by mechanical structural design, for example, they are designed into a spring shape, a spiral shape, a fold shape and the like. The tensile property endowed by the mechanical structure design is often limited, and phenomena such as active structure collapse and the like easily occur after multiple times of stretching, so that the ultrasonic sensor is invalid.
Meanwhile, inorganic piezoelectric phase particles in the existing flexible piezoelectric composite film are easy to agglomerate, the interfacial bonding force of the inorganic phase and the organic phase is relatively limited, the inherent stretching performance of the existing flexible piezoelectric film is poor, a piezoelectric active structure collapses due to repeated stretching, and the consistency of the interfacial distance between a non-stretchable ultrasonic sensor and an irregular sample to be measured is poor, so that huge acoustic energy reflection and waveform distortion can be caused due to air gaps or poor contact generated at the interface.
Therefore, it is necessary to prepare a self-supporting stretchable piezoelectric film and an ultrasonic sensor to cope with ultrasonic detection of an irregularly contoured object to be detected.
