Description

Flexible stretching sensor based on microelectronic printing and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of flexible sensing equipment, and particularly relates to a flexible stretching sensor based on microelectronic printing and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The flexible stretching sensor has the characteristics of high flexibility, strong sensitivity and the like, and can convert vital sign signals and various mechanical signals into electric signals, so that the flexible stretching sensor can be used for simulating a human body sensing structure, and has wide application prospects in the fields of health monitoring, flexible robots, wearable electronic equipment, human-computer interaction, electronic skin and the like. Compared with the traditional rigid silicon-based sensor, the flexible stretching sensor can better capture mechanical signals on a curved surface and maintain stability in the bending/stretching process. Therefore, flexible stretch sensors with fast response, high repeatability and high stretchability are becoming a direction of future development.
Hydrogels are a representative flexible sensor due to their good mechanical, biological and electrical conductivity. Common pure polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels are paid attention to because of good biocompatibility and self-healing property, but the problems of poor mechanical properties, low conductivity and the like limit the further development of the gels, and in order to improve the mechanical and electrical conductivity of gel materials, a scheme of adding conductive fillers into the PVA hydrogels is reported successively. Among them, conductive polymer hydrogels have attracted much attention because they can provide both electron conductivity and ion conductivity, and have the advantages of low young's modulus, good flexibility, stability, good biocompatibility, and the like.
Compared with the hydrogel prepared by using the inorganic material, the conductive polymer has the advantage of difficult oxidization, and the flexible sensor prepared by using the hydrogel based on the conductive polymer material has good tensile property, obviously prolonged service life and higher stability, and can meet the requirement of close fitting of a human body and the surface of flexible equipment.
Jiang Mengyue in the master paper entitled "preparation of PVA/MXene/PEDOT: PSS hydrogel and its use in Flexible Strain Sensors" it is noted that: the P/M/P (PVA/MXene/PEDOT: PSS) hydrogel with excellent mechanical properties and high conductivity can be prepared by introducing MXene conductive material and poly 3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene/polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT: PSS) with high conductivity and stability into PVA gel, the mechanical properties and conductivity of the hydrogel can be changed by regulating the MXene content and the PEDOT: PSS content, the maximum tensile strength of the obtained P/M/P hydrogel is 93.57 kPa, and the conductivity is 0.2109S M -1 . The P/M/P hydrogel has self-healing property based on the dynamic crosslinking between PVA and tetrahydroxyborate ions in the system and the hydrogen bonding action between PVA, MXene and PEDOT: PSS. Meanwhile, the P/M/P hydrogel also has biocompatibility and degradability. Under the synergistic effect of the performances, the P/M/P hydrogel has a wider strain range (0-763%) when used as a flexible strain sensor, and can be used for monitoring human body movement. However, the sensor material disclosed in this document has drawbacks, particularly in that: although the tensile strength of the sensor is obviously improved, the sensor still has difficulty in meeting the application requirements of special fields, has lower sensitivity (GF=2.31), and is used for sensing signalsThere is still a large room for improvement in terms of awareness.
One of the effective ways to improve the sensitivity of the flexible tensile sensor is to construct a microstructure on the sensing layer, so that the flexible sensor can generate larger deformation under a smaller pressure condition, the construction of the micro-nano structure usually adopts a template transfer printing method, a template with uniform structure is usually obtained by adopting a laser etching method, and the method has the defects of complex procedure and longer time consumption, has high preparation cost and limits the large-scale production of the flexible tensile sensor; the cost of the method is obviously reduced by using the plant surface as a mould for manufacturing the microstructure, but the method has low repeatability and poor controllability and is not suitable for mass production.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a flexible stretching sensor based on microelectronic printing and a preparation method thereof, wherein after specific ink is prepared, a flexible stretching sensing layer is formed on the surface of a substrate by using a microelectronic printing technology, and a ridged microstructure is constructed, so that the sensitivity of the sensing layer can be obviously improved, and a sensing device prepared based on the flexible stretching sensor has ultrahigh toughness and stability.
The technical scheme of the invention is as follows: a preparation method of a flexible tension sensor based on microelectronic printing comprises the following steps:
1. preparation of ink
1) Dissolving polyvinyl alcohol (124 type) in deionized water under heating;
2) Adding dimethyl sulfoxide, PEDOT, PSS and glycerol into the polyvinyl alcohol solution, and stirring and uniformly mixing;
3) Dropwise adding a sodium tetraborate solution into the solution obtained in the step 2) to obtain ink;
2. preparation of sensing layer film based on microelectronic printing technology
1) Pretreating a substrate;
2) Preparing a sensing layer film with a ridged microstructure on the surface on a substrate by using the ink prepared in the first step on a microelectronic printing equipment platform;
3. preparation of the sensor
1) Repeatedly freezing and thawing the sensing layer film prepared in the second step to obtain a hydrogel film;
2) And fixing copper foils at two ends of the hydrogel film to prepare the flexible stretching sensor.
In the first step, the mass ratio of polyvinyl alcohol to PEDOT to PSS to glycerol to dimethyl sulfoxide is 4-6:15-18:30-34:3-4; the mass ratio of the polyvinyl alcohol to the sodium tetraborate is 30:1-1.5.
Dimethyl sulfoxide is added in the preparation of the ink because the conductivity of poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene) -poly (styrenesulfonic acid) can be effectively improved by stripping the poly (styrenesulfonic acid). And the addition of glycerol is beneficial to improving the water retention of the hydrogel and effectively prolonging the service life of the flexible stretching sensor.
The application makes targeted study on the dosage of different components in the ink to obtain a final value, and finds out in the experimental process: the high content of the polyvinyl alcohol can influence the conductivity of the film, and the blending of the polyvinyl alcohol solution with proper concentration can not excessively reduce the conductivity of the film, and can also enable the viscosity of the ink to be suitable for the microelectronic printing process. Too high or too low concentration of the aqueous solution of sodium tetraborate can affect the crosslinking performance of the polyvinyl alcohol, and too high concentration of the aqueous solution of sodium tetraborate can greatly increase the viscosity of the ink and affect the printing effect.
Further, in the second step, a 27G needle with the inner diameter of 0.21-mm is used in microelectronic printing, the printing speed is 5-7 mm/s, and the air pump pressure is 100-200 kPa.
Further, in the second step, the extending direction of the ridge structure on the obtained sensing layer film is parallel or perpendicular to the stretching direction of the device, and preferably, the extending direction of the ridge structure is perpendicular to the stretching direction of the device.
Further, when the extending direction of the ridge microstructures on the sensing layer film is perpendicular to the stretching direction, the interval between adjacent ridge microstructures is 2-4 mm, preferably 3-mm.
In the third step, when the hydrogel film is prepared, the sensing layer film prepared in the second step is frozen for 8-12 hours at the temperature of minus 10 ℃ to minus 18 ℃, then thawed for 3-5 hours at room temperature, and the freezing and thawing are repeated for 3 times.
The flexible stretching sensor prepared by the method has higher sensitivity and cycle stability, and the sensitivity reaches 3.1 when the extending direction of the ridge structure on the sensing layer film is parallel to the stretching direction of the device and the interval between the adjacent ridge structures is 2 mm; when the extending direction of the ridge structure on the sensing layer film is perpendicular to the stretching direction of the device and the interval between the adjacent ridge structures is 3 mm, the sensitivity of the sensing layer film reaches 5.3, compared with the traditional conductive polymer hydrogel, the sensitivity is obviously improved, the elongation f of the flexible stretching sensor prepared based on the sensing layer film with the extending direction of the ridge structure perpendicular to the stretching direction of the device is 328.06%, the flexible stretching sensor is stretched for 200 cycles under 100% strain, and the resistance change rate is not obviously reduced.
