Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of flexible wearable sensors, and specifically relates to an integrated flexible pressure sensor prepared by utilizing three-dimensional polymer ion gel fibers with ultra-high porosity. Background Art

[0002] Human skin is composed of three distinct functional layers: the epidermis, dermis (mesoderm), and subcutaneous tissue. These layers form a tough interface, allowing them to withstand a variety of complex mechanical forces and deformations. Similar to human skin, capacitive sensors are composed of upper and lower electrode layers and a dielectric layer. However, the different materials in the electrode and dielectric layers often exhibit significant differential moduli, leading to mechanical mismatch and differential deformation between the layers in practical applications. Furthermore, when sensors are subjected to complex forces and deformations over long periods of time, the interface structure is prone to slippage or misalignment, which is the primary cause of the sensor's low structural and signal stability.

[0003] Ionic liquids are typically composed of organic cations and inorganic (or organic) anions and are generally liquid at room temperature. They possess low volatility, structural designability, physicochemical stability, and health and environmental safety. Ionic liquids immobilized on solid substrates form materials called ion gels, which exhibit promising applications due to their dual properties of both ionic liquids and solid matrices.

[0004] Polymer ion gels, formed by blending high-molecular-weight organic polymers with ionic liquids, are solid-state mixtures with gel-like structures and ionic conductivity. By confining ionic liquids within three-dimensional polymer networks, ion gels with specific structures and properties can be formed. Due to the presence of ionic liquids, polymer ion gels possess many unique functionalities, such as electrical conductivity, excellent electrochemical stability, stability over a wide temperature range, and antifreeze and antibacterial properties. These materials have broad applications in energy storage, sensing, 3D printing, and biomedicine.

[0043] The polyimide-based ion gel fiber integrated flexible pressure sensor of the present invention can be prepared by the following preparation method: first, the ultrasonically treated conductive filler is added to the polyamic acid solution and fully mixed, and the polyamic acid conductive film is prepared by a doctor blade process; second, the ionic liquid is added to the polyamic acid solution, and then the spinning aid solution is added to prepare the polyamic acid-based spinning precursor solution; then, the spinning precursor solution is spun, wherein the collecting cage uses the polyamic acid conductive film as a substrate to collect the fibers; finally, the collected electrode-fiber-electrode is placed in a muffle furnace for high-temperature imidization treatment; under a high-temperature environment, local welding points are formed between the fibers and the fibers, and between the fibers and the electrode film, and finally an integrated polyimide-based ion gel flexible sensor with a stable welding interface is obtained.

[0044] In the present invention, the ionic liquid acts as a functional filler in the polymer material to achieve functional treatment of the fiber; the polyimide material serves as the structural matrix of the fiber, providing good mechanical properties for the three-dimensional structure, generally 2MPa to 8GPa; the spinning aid is used to enhance the spinnability of the ion gel and obtain a stable spinning effect.

The ultra-high porosity ion gel fiber prepared by air-spinning can obtain good structural properties. Polyimide, as a high-modulus polymer material, serves as a matrix, providing excellent mechanical properties for the structure. At the same time, during the high-temperature imidization process of polyamic acid, structures with the same polyimide matrix occasionally form thermal welding interfaces, forming excellent interface toughness between the interfaces, so that the sensor can still obtain high signal stability under complex stresses.

[0063] Comparative Example 1

[0064] 1. Preparation of spinning solution:

[0065] 1) adding 0.7 g of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid to 1.5 g of polyamic acid solution, wherein the mass concentration of the polyamic acid solution is 18%, and stirring at room temperature for 0.5 to 1 hour to obtain a mixed solution of the ionic liquid / polyamic acid solution;

[0066] 2) Add 1 g of polyacrylonitrile to 9 g of N,N-dimethylformamide solvent and stir at room temperature for 2 to 5 hours to obtain a spinning aid solution;

[0067] 3) adding 2.2 g of the spinning aid solution to the mixed solution of the ionic liquid / polyamic acid solution in step 1), and stirring the solution at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours to obtain a spinning solution of the ion gel composite material;

[0068] 2. Preparation of ultra-high porosity three-dimensional polymer ion gel fibers:

[0069] 1) Add the spinning solution into a micro syringe pump with a needle diameter of 0.05-0.4 mm and a solution feeding rate of 0.05 ml / min;

[0070] 2) Set the airflow pressure of the nozzle to 0.05-0.5 MPa and adjust the distance from the nozzle to the receiving cage to 10-25 cm;

[0071] As a result, under the limited preparation parameters, the spinning solution of the sample could not form a fiber structure; the reason was that the ionic liquid content was too high and the spinning effect of the spinning solution could no longer meet the requirements of air-jet spinning.

[0072] Comparative Example 2

[0073] 1) adding 0.49 g of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid to 1.5 g of polyamic acid solution, wherein the concentration of the polyamic acid solution is 18%, and stirring at room temperature for 0.5 to 1 hour to obtain a mixed solution of ionic liquid / polyamic acid solution;

[0074] 2) Add 1 g of polyacrylonitrile to 9 g of N,N-dimethylformamide solvent and stir at room temperature for 2 to 5 hours to obtain a spinning aid solution;

[0075] 3) adding 1.5 g of the spinning aid solution to the mixed solution of the ionic liquid / polyamic acid solution in step 1), and stirring the solution at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours to obtain a spinning solution of the ion gel composite material;

[0076] 2. Preparation of ultra-high porosity three-dimensional polymer ion gel fibers:

[0077] 1) Add the spinning solution into a micro syringe pump with a needle diameter of 0.05-0.4 mm and a solution feeding rate of 0.05 ml / min;

[0078] 2) Set the airflow pressure of the nozzle to 0.05-0.5 MPa and adjust the distance from the nozzle to the receiving cage to 10-25 cm;

[0079] As a result, under the limited preparation parameters, the spinning solution of the samples could not form a fiber structure; the reason was that too little spinning aid was added, and the spinning solution had poor spinning effect under the influence of high content of ionic liquid and could not form a stable fiber structure.
