Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method and application of a hydrogel flexible touch sensor, and belongs to the field of flexible wearable sensing. The preparation method mainly comprises the following steps: (1) preparing double-network cross-linked hydrogel from polyacrylamide and polyvinylpyrrolidone which have a hydrogen bond complexing effect; (2) initiating cross-linking polymerization of an acrylamide monomer through an initiator ammonium persulfate and a cross-linking agent N, N'-methylene bisacrylamide to form supramolecular hydrogel with a chemical cross-linking structure and a hydrogen bond cross-linking structure; (3) adding a conductive polymer complex poly(3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene): polystyrolsulfon acid into the hydrogel preparation solution to improve the conductivity of the hydrogel; and (4) injecting the conductive hydrogel precursor solution into a fixed mold, and preparing the flexible touch sensor by adopting an ultraviolet-initiated free radical polymerization means. The prepared conductive stretchable hydrogel film has high stretch rate and sensitive stress responsiveness, and can be used for monitoring the movement or health condition of a human body in real time.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention constructs supramolecular stretchable conductive hydrogel through covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds and uses it for the preparation of tactile sensors, belonging to the field of flexible wearable sensing. Background technique: [0002] Environmental pollution and climate change have seriously affected people's health, and improving the quality of life to ensure a healthy life has become an urgent need. However, the medical conditions are difficult to meet the needs of the current population, resulting in the deterioration of early mild diseases and even affecting life. Flexible and wearable electronic devices can monitor the physiological signal changes of the human body in real time. It can monitor and report the early physical abnormalities of the human body in time to relieve medical pressure. [0003] At the heart of flexible electronics are sensing materials. Currently, the most commonly used flexible sensing materials are polydim...
