Problems solved by technology

Traditional air pressure sensing devices mainly include mercury barometers and aneroid barometers. These barometers are made according to the experimental principles of Evangelista Torricelli (1608~1647), and generally have a glass Or a rigid base made of other solid materials, so this type of barometer has a fixed structure and cannot be bent and deformed, so it cannot be applied to some special application requirements, such as not suitable for embedding in wearable devices

preparation example Construction

[0069] In some preferred embodiments, the preparation method comprises:

[0070] Prepare flexible top layer and flexible bottom layer respectively;

[0071] Coating an annular sealing material on the surface of the flexible bottom layer, and then covering the flexible top layer on the annular sealing material;

[0072] Warm up to the melting temperature of the annular sealing material under vacuum conditions, and keep for a set time, then turn off the heat source, keep the vacuum, and cool naturally, so that the flexible top layer and the flexible bottom layer are bonded under vacuum conditions, so as to be on the second surface. At least a partial area and at least a partial area of ​​the third surface form a sealed air chamber, so that the flexible and wearable air pressure sensor is obtained.

[0073] Different annular sealing materials have different melting temperatures, but when selecting a sealant, it is not easy to choose a material with a melting temperature greater ...

Embodiment 1

[0115] Mix the PDMS base solution and CNTs (multi-walled carbon nanotubes) at a mass ratio of 100:2, and then prepare a mixed solution with chloroform at a volume ratio of 1:4, and then stir for 12 hours to ensure that the CNTs are evenly mixed In PDMS, the chloroform is completely volatilized by heating, and then the remaining mixture is spin-coated on a silicon wafer with a microstructure to prepare a flexible top layer with a microstructure, such as figure 1 shown. Afterwards, the PET film of a thin layer of ITO is selected to be spin-coated as a flexible bottom layer, and a high-purity paraffin wax with a suitable shape is coated on this layer, such as figure 2 shown. After that, under normal pressure (101KPa), the high-purity paraffin is melted by heating, then the heat source is turned off, the vacuum is kept, and the natural cooling makes the flexible top layer and the flexible bottom layer stick naturally, such as image 3 As shown, finally a flexible wearable air p...
