Problems solved by technology

However, the preparation methods of these strain sensors are either complicated or the production cycle is relatively long.
The current method with simple production process and short production cycle is still a relatively big challenge for the manufacture of elastic wearable strain sensors.

Abstract

The invention provides an elastic wearable strain sensor and a preparation method thereof. The sensor mainly comprises conductive powder, a flexible base and a pair of electrodes located at two ends of the elastic base. The preparation method comprises the steps of (1) coating the surface of the semi-solidified elastic base with the conductive powder; (2) solidifying the semi-solidified elastic base with the surface being attached with the conductive powder; and (3) extracting electrodes at two ends of a conductive powder layer so as to form an elastic wearable strain sensor. Compared with other sensors, the elastic wearable strain sensor provided by the invention has the advantages of quick large-area preparation, low cost, good product performance, simple and convenient operation and the like. The elastic wearable strain sensor can detect strain up to 150%, and has the advantages of high sensitivity, fast response and the like. The elastic wearable strain sensor can be attached to the skin surface of a human body, is used for muscular movement detection, and can also be fixed at joints such as the fingers and the knees to perform bending strain detection.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of sensors, and in particular relates to an elastic wearable strain sensor and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] A wearable device is a computing device that can be installed on people, animals and objects, and can perceive, transmit and process information. Sensors are the core components of wearable devices. Sensors have wearable properties and have important potential for adaption in the fields of intelligent transportation, consumer electronics, medical equipment, smart home, industrial control, aviation and military industry. A strain sensor is a sensor that can be used to detect objects that are deformed by external forces or driven by themselves. With the continuous development of science and technology and the continuous improvement of people's material conditions, the demand for flexible and sensorable electronic devices is increasing. There are a wide variety of wearable devices c...
