Problems solved by technology

However, there are certain limitations in the preparation of corresponding strained layers on flexible electronic substrates. For example, metal strained layers generally need to be carried out in a high-temperature environment, so it cannot be used in ordinary films with PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) with poor heat resistance. alkane) as the substrate of flexible electronics, the preparation process is also vulnerable to the size limit of flexible electronic devices or even damage the flexible electronic devices, which does not have wide applicability and portability, so the use of ultra-thin strain sensors with packaged flexible substrates has become the main test A means of bending performance in flexible electronics
[0004] However, when testing with ultra-thin strain sensors, there are still some problems in the strain measurement of flexible electronic devices: how to ensure that due to the sensitivity of the adhesive layer, the contact between the ultra-thin strain sensor and the flexible electronic device is The interface is very likely to have a slip failure mode, which leads to test results that cannot truly reflect the real bending strain of the flexible electronic device; This leads to the offset problem of the neutral layer of the flexible electronic device to be tested, which causes the strain of the sensing grid to be different from the strain on the outer surface of the device to be tested; To ensure the integrity of no residual bubbles, ultra-thin viscous layer and ultra-thin devices can be obtained, so as to ensure the accuracy of the test, so accurate measurement of the true bending strain of flexible electronic devices is an urgent problem to be solved
For these problems, there are already some solutions, such as Yewang Su et al. (Chen, Y.*; Su, Y.*, Adhesion-Free Thin-Film-LikeCurvature Sensors Integrated on Flexible and Wearable Electronics for Monitoring Bending of Joints and Various Body Gestures.Advanced Materials Technologies, 2019,4(2):1800327.) Considering the influence of interface sliding between ultra-thin strain sensors and flexible electronic devices during the test, a double-layer strain sensor is designed to test flexible electronics. However, the This method is only suitable for cases where the interface slides slightly
At the same time, the patent (patent 109505838A, CN 204944424, CN104944424) considers the influence of the adhesive layer, and proposes a push-and-extrusion type placement equipment to solve the problem of uniformity, thickness, and no bubbles of the adhesive layer when the strain sensor is mounted during the test process. and impurities, etc., but this method is only suitable for flexible strain sensors with large plane type, stiffness, and thickness, and is not suitable for the measurement of ultra-thin flexible sensors and flexible electronic devices under curved surface morphology; another example is the patent CN102001617A proposed A displacement loading method for flexible electronic devices is used to correct the influence of loading factors. However, this method only considers the influence of loading factors, and does not consider the influence of adhesive layer, thickness of flexible electronic devices and other factors. Especially for ultra-thin flexible electronics, it must Ensure that the adhesive layer is thinner, so that the neutral layer shift is small
