preparation example Construction

[0024] A method for preparing a flexible force-sensitive sensor provided by an embodiment of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0025] S1. Mix the PDMS substrate and curing agent in a weight ratio of 5:1 to obtain a PDMS prepolymer; after stirring the PDMS prepolymer once, add carbon black and perform a second stirring to obtain the initial product of carbon black / PDMS ink ; After the second stirring, the bubbles of the initial product of carbon black / PDMS ink were removed under vacuum conditions to obtain carbon black / PDMS ink.

[0026] It should be noted that, in order to ensure more complete mixing and good dispersibility of each component in the mixture, the first stirring and the second stirring in the embodiment of the present invention are both mechanical stirring. Wherein, the time of primary stirring is 5-8min; the time of secondary stirring is 30-40min. Preferably, the time for primary stirring is 5 minutes; the time for secondary stirring is 30 ...

Embodiment 1

[0041] This embodiment proposes a method for preparing a flexible force-sensitive sensor, which includes the following steps:

[0042] First, mix the PDMS substrate and the curing agent at a weight ratio of 5:1 to obtain a PDMS prepolymer; after stirring the PDMS prepolymer once with a mechanical stirrer, add carbon black at normal temperature and pressure and perform a second Stir to obtain the primary product of carbon black / PDMS ink; after the second stirring, remove the bubbles of the primary product of carbon black / PDMS ink under vacuum conditions to obtain carbon black / PDMS ink. Wherein, the primary stirring time is 5 minutes, and the secondary stirring time is 30 minutes.

[0043] Secondly, the carbon black / PDMS ink was spin-coated on the ground glass sheet mold with a microstructure on the surface at a speed of 600 revolutions per minute by a spin-coating machine, and cured at 70°C for 2 hours, and then the cured The carbon black / PDMS ink was peeled from the ground gl...

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of sensor preparation, particularly to a flexible force sensor and a preparation method thereof, an array device, and application of a flexible force sensor. A microstructured film is made by PDMS, so that the structural elasticity is enhanced by the low Young's modulus of PDMS and the wearability and sensitivity of the flexible force sensor are strengthened; on the basis of a surface-bionic random multilayer microstructure, the sensitivity of the sensitive sensor is enhanced substantially and the sensing capability to the micro stress is improved;and thus the piezoresistive flexible force sensor can be applied to health fields such as medical monitoring so as to monitor various body signals like the pulse and breathing in real time. Besides, the preparation method of the flexible force sensor has the high processability and low cost, so that large-scale production is realized well. And with the method provided by the invention, bionic surfaces with different shapes, different levels, different scales, different dimensions, and different functions can be obtained.

Description
