Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the process of realizing the present invention, the inventors have found that there are at least the following problems in the prior art: First, when the flexible sensor meets the requirement of stretch rate and can be used in wearable electronic devices, its sensitivity is low and it is not suitable for monitoring Human pulse, breathing and other signals; second, when the flexible sensor meets the sensitivity requirements, its stretch rate is greatly reduced, and its biological tolerance is poor, so it cannot be applied to wearable electronic devices

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a flexible sensor and a preparation method thereof. The sensor comprises two layers of flexible substrates, electrodes and a sensing layer. A closed pipeline cavity is arranged between the two layers of flexible substrates. The closed pipeline cavity includes the sensing layer. The sensing layer is composed of a conductive solid and conductive liquid or composed of the conductive solid and a metal film. The electrodes are connected with the sensing layer and outwardly stretch out of the boundary of the flexible substrates. The preparation method of thesensor comprises the steps that a pipeline cavity structure is prepared on a hard substrate, the liquefied conductive solid or the flexible substrate plate is coated on the pipeline cavity to form thepipeline cavity structure, the electrodes are adhered and then another flexible substrate is packaged and then the conductive liquid is injected so that the sensor is obtained. The sensor has high sensitivity, high stretchable rate and high tolerability and can be applied to the wearable electronic equipment and can rapidly respond to face surface, body movement, pulse, respiration and multiple other life signals.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of strain sensors, in particular to a wearable flexible sensor. Background technique [0002] Wearable electronic devices, which can interact with the human body and monitor them for a long time, have received extensive attention in recent years. So far, flexible sensors combined with clothing or electronic skins that are in direct contact with the skin have been prepared to realize real-time monitoring of the physical, chemical, biological and environmental conditions of the human body. Wearable electronic devices have high requirements for the sensors installed in them. Such sensors must meet the requirements of high efficiency, high stretchability, flexibility, durability, low power consumption, biological tolerance and lightness. Electronic skin The requirements for the sensor are more stringent, and the stretch rate ε>100%. When people move their knees, fingers and other joints, they not only need ...
