Problems solved by technology

However, the design and processing of the micro-nano structure increases the preparation process and manufacturing cost of the sensor. At the same time, this technology is mainly aimed at improving the sensitivity under small deformation, which limits the detection range of the sensor.
However, sensors that compound conductive fillers into a polymer (such as rubber, etc.) matrix as a pressure sensing layer are generally suitable for detecting large deformations, but the detection range is limited and the sensitivity is low, which limits its application range.
At the same time, due to the viscoelasticity and creep behavior of the polymer, there is a lag problem in the response time of the sensor. When a large force is applied, the recovery time of the sensor is longer, and it cannot return to the initial resistance value, and has a slower response time. and poor stability

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of sensors, in particular, to a flexible pressure sensor, a preparation method thereof, and a wearable device. The flexible pressure sensor includes an interdigital electrode layer, a pressure-sensitive layer, and an adhesive layer between the interdigitated electrode layer and the pressure-sensitive layer; the distance between adjacent fingers of the interdigital electrode layer has any relationship: (a) by The center of the interdigitated electrode layer is outward, and the distance between adjacent interdigital fingers gradually increases from 0.2mm~0.6mm to 0.6mm~1.2mm; (b) From the center of the interdigital electrode layer outward, the distance between adjacent interdigital fingers Gradually reduce from 0.6mm~1.2mm to 0.2mm~0.6mm; the mass percentage of graphene in the pressure-sensitive layer is 0.6%~2%, and the middle of the adhesive layer is left empty to connect the interdigital electrode layer and the pressure-sensitive layer. The edge parts of the adhesive layer are bonded to form an air cavity between the interdigital electrode layer and the pressure-sensitive layer, and the adhesive layer has a gap so that the air cavity can communicate with the outside world. The detection sensitivity of the sensor is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sensors, in particular to a flexible pressure sensor, a preparation method thereof, and a wearable device. Background technique [0002] Flexible sensors can adapt to more complex application scenarios due to their good flexibility, free bending or even folding, and easy portability. It has broad application prospects in health management, medical treatment, sports science and other fields. At present, researchers mostly use resistive, capacitive, piezoelectric, triboelectric and other sensing mechanisms to prepare high-sensitivity pressure sensors. Among them, resistive sensors have attracted extensive attention from researchers due to their advantages such as simple preparation process, easy-to-read signals, high sensitivity, fast response time, and low cost. Most of the traditional flexible piezoresistive sensors are made of surface conductive coating on the polymer substrate with micro-nano structur...
