preparation example Construction

[0050] The preparation method of flexible sensor array comprises the following steps:

[0051] Step 1: Mix one-dimensional conductive nanomaterials and two-dimensional conductive nanomaterials (such as CNT and Mxene) in a certain ratio (0.5-2:1), configure composite conductive nanomaterials, and add them to a beaker. Then add SEBS powder, the mass ratio of SEBS and composite conductive nanomaterials is 1:0.2-0.5, and stir evenly with a glass rod.

[0052] Step 2: Add absolute ethanol to the beaker so that the absolute ethanol can cover the material. Put the beaker into an ultrasonic machine and heat it in a blast drying oven until the ethanol is completely evaporated. The dried material is ground to obtain a uniformly mixed composite nano material.

[0053] Step 3: Add paraffin oil to the material (the mass ratio of paraffin oil and SEBS is 2.5-3.5:1), and stir evenly with a glass rod. Put the mixed material into a crucible and lay it flat, then put it into a box furnace, h...
