Abstract

The invention discloses a capacitive ultrathin flexible stress sensor and a producing method thereof. The capacitive ultrathin flexible stress sensor comprises a bottom elastic protective film, a bottom electrospun nanofiber conductive film electrode, a middle elastic insulated isolating film, a top electrospun nanofiber conductive film electrode, a top elastic protective film, and two metallic electrodes, wherein the two metallic electrodes are connected with the top electrospun nanofiber conductive film electrode and the bottom electrospun nanofiber conductive film electrode respectively. The top electrospun nanofiber conductive film electrode is a conductive nanofiber film produced through an electrostatic spinning method and deposited directionally on the top surface of the middle elastic insulated isolating film and the bottom electrospun nanofiber conductive film electrode is a conductive nanofiber membrane produced through an electrostatic spinning method and deposited directionally on the top surface of bottom elastic protective film. The stress sensor is stretchable in a large range and can be used for measuring a large stretching range. The capacitance of the stress sensor is determined by the induction area of the stretched stress sensor. The stress sensor is simple in preparation technology and has good application prospect.
