Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a resistive flexible strain sensor based on drying-mediated self-assembly and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the flexible sensor technology. Background technique [0002] A sensor is a general term for a class of functional detection devices that can convert external information into visible, readable, storable electrical signals or other required forms of information output. A strain sensor is a type of sensor that generates strain based on an object's force and converts it into other readable signals. In recent years, traditional strain sensors have been greatly limited due to their own material properties, flexibility and detection accuracy, and are increasingly unsuitable in many emerging fields that require flexibility. Therefore, flexible strain sensors emerged as the times require. [0003] The flexible strain sensor is a flexible electronic device that converts the mechanical deformation of the sensitive b...
