The invention discloses a
fiber-type sensor with adjustable strain sensitivity and sensing range and a preparation method thereof. The
fiber-type sensor realizes
strain resistance response of basic sensitivity through
bulk resistance change caused by cross sectional
area change of a conductive material layer when the
fiber-type sensor is stretched and an expansion effect of microcracks on the surface of the conductive material layer. The preparation method of the
fiber type sensor comprises the following steps: extruding a
thermoplastic polyurethane organic solution into a water bath by using an
injector to obtain a phase separation porous core fiber 1; immersing the core fiber into an organic solution containing a
thermoplastic polyurethane and
carbon nanotube mixture, taking out the core fiber, and transferring the core fiber to a non-
woven fabric substrate; the substrate and the coated core fiber on the substrate are integrally placed in a water bath and then taken out, and the sensing fiber is obtained after the fiber is stripped; a
metal foil packaging layer or a
polymer packaging layer is used for wrapping fibers in a segmented mode, and the fibers are pre-stretched to form the
fiber type sensor with sensing efficiency.
