Problems solved by technology

However, the measurement range of this highly sensitive strain sensor is limited, and it is damaged or broken under large strain conditions, which limits its application in aerospace, intelligent transportation and other fields.
For example, Chinese patent applications (application number 201610101825.1) "a metal film flexible strain sensor and its preparation method" and (application number 201510259874.3) "a graphene flexible sensor and its manufacturing method", due to the limitation of sensitive materials, The structure used is easily damaged, the deformation range is small, generally less than 10%, and only small deformation or vibration can be detected
On the other hand, sensors that can detect large strains have low sensitivity coefficients when testing weak strains, making it difficult to achieve accurate detection
In addition, the preparation process of the existing flexible strain sensor is complicated, which increases the cost and is not conducive to mass production

Abstract

A large-deformation flexible strain sensor and a preparation method thereof belong to the technical field of sensors. The strain sensor comprises a sensitive material layer, a flexible support layer, and electrodes. The sensitive material layer adopts a graphene porous membrane material, and the flexible support layer is distributed in the upper surface, low surface and holes of the graphene porous membrane material. The flexible support layer is used for coating the sensitive material layer and the electrodes and providing elastic deformation of the device under stress. As the sensitive material of the invention is a graphene porous membrane material which has a very thin hole wall and can produce cracks under small strain, the resistance changes quickly, and high sensitivity is achieved. On the other hand, the porous structure provides more conductive paths, which can ensure that the sensor can work normally under large strain. According to the preparation method provided by the invention, graphene porous membranes are evenly batch-produced in a large area by use of a scraper coating method, which can reduce the production cost and ensure the repeatability and reliability of the sensor device.
