preparation example Construction

[0025] The present invention is a method for preparing a flexible and stretchable sensor array based on bidirectionally pre-stretched elastic substrates and aligned carbon nanotubes, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0026] Step one, the preparation of the elastomer substrate.

[0027] In one example, a purchased common commercial product thermoplastic elastomer SEBS (saturated styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer) was rinsed with tap water, followed by ultrasonic cleaning with alcohol and deionized water for 10-30 min , put it into a blast drying oven at 40-50°C for 5-10 minutes, cut the washed elastic body into a square, and stretch it bidirectionally with a clamp as a bidirectionally pre-stretched elastic body SEBS.

[0028] Step 2, preparation of the mixed solution of the medium layer.

[0029] In one embodiment, 2.18 g of the cleaned thermoplastic elastomer SEBS was dissolved in 50 mL of cyclohexane, and the dissolution was accelerated by ultrasonic...

Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method and application of a flexible stretchable sensing array based on a bidirectional pre-stretching elastic substrate and aligned carbon nanotubes. The preparation method comprises the steps of tiling a column of carbon nanotube films on the bidirectional pre-stretching elastic substrate; then spraying a dielectric layer mixed solution, vertically tiling another column of carbon nanotube films, wherein the perpendicularly crossing portion of the nanotubes forms a capacitor, and the acquired capacitor is of a CNTs / dielectric layer / CNTs structure; spraying the mixed solution again to serve as a protection layer; releasing the elastic substrate to the initial state so as to form a complex folded structure; and finally fixing a sensing unit by using anepoxy resin adhesive to obtain a capacitive flexible stretchable sensing array.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of flexible and stretchable sensor arrays, and in particular relates to a preparation method and application of a flexible and stretchable sensor array based on bidirectionally pre-stretched elastic substrates and aligned carbon nanotubes. Background technique [0002] Flexible wearable and portable electronic devices have attracted more and more attention from researchers in recent years. The development of electronic skin-related technologies has made it a potential application value in the fields of robotics and medical equipment. The electronic skin flexible sensing system collects complex information of the surrounding environment, including pressure, strain, shear force and vibration, etc., and converts these physical quantities into electrical signals, such as voltage, through changes in resistance and capacitance, or through piezoelectric elements. Applying these electronic skins to robots, especiall...
