The invention relates to a resistive flexible
strain sensor based on
drying-mediated self-
assembly of colloidal particles into parallel cracks, and a preparation method of the resistive flexible
strain sensor. The flexible
strain sensor comprises a flexible substrate, a sensitive layer and a conductive layer which are arranged from bottom to top in sequence, wherein the flexible substrate is a thin film made of a flexible material; the sensitive layer is prepared from a thin film produced through
drying of colloidal dispersions, and the upper surface of the sensitive layer is provided with a regular crack array structure; a pair of
copper sheet electrodes are arranged on the conductive layer, and are respectively located at the two ends of the conductive layer; and an enameled wire is ledout of each
electrode. The flexible strain sensor provided by the invention can be adhered to the surface of
human skin or attached to clothes to achieve wearable monitoring of
respiration, pulses, gaits, joint movements and the like of a
human body; and through the
drying-mediated method, the colloidal particles are self-assembled into the parallel cracks, so that the flexible strain sensor has the characteristics of high sensitivity, high speed and high efficiency of a preparation process, high simplicity and environmental friendliness of a preparation technique, high convenience in
mass production, low cost and the like, and achieves broad application prospects.
