Problems solved by technology

[0005] At present, the preparation of flexible strain sensors should meet the needs of low cost and large area. Generally speaking, silicon-based elastomers or rubber can be used as substrates. For strain sensors that need to be attached to the skin, they will impose a large number of complex dynamic changes. Therefore, its durability and self-healing performance are extremely important. Under high-intensity stress, the flexible material used as a sensor will break or bend, and the polymer used as a flexible substrate will undergo fatigue and plastic deformation, which will affect the performance of the sensor. Performance drops, so the present invention develops a novel hydrogel for flexible strain sensors

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a hydrogel flexible strain sensor and its preparation method and its application in equipment for detecting tensile strain. Background technique [0002] With the rise of wearable devices, the demand and research of flexible sensors are increasing, which need to have strong stretchability, ductility, bendability and durability, low power consumption and quality, if it is skin-friendly Non-toxic sensors must also be biocompatible. Flexible sensors can be used in human health monitoring, human motion monitoring, human-computer interaction and soft robotics, etc. [0003] As a basic sensor, strain sensor has produced many research results. Strain sensors are generally divided into resistive and capacitive. So far, researchers have used different materials to make strain sensors. Different materials have their own advantages and disadvantages in terms of mechanical and electrical properties, and it is usually difficult to achie...
