The invention relates to a flexible capacitive sensor fabricated by employing a silver nanowire flexible electrode. The flexible capacitive sensor comprises an upper-layer flexible electrode plate, alower-layer flexible electrode plate and an intermediate flexible dielectric layer, wherein each flexible electrode comprises a flexible substrate, a silver nanowire electrode thin film layer, and thesilver nanowire electrode thin film layer is arranged in the flexible substrate. A fabrication method of the electrode employs a transfer printing method, the silver nanowire electrode thin film layer is fabricated in an electrode template, a flexible polymer is injected for curing, so that the silver nanowire conductive thin film layer is transferred to the flexible substrate. The flexible dielectric layer is divided into two types comprising a thin film structure and a porous structure, the thin film structure is fabricated by uniformly coating a flexible polymer prepolymer on a silicon wafer to form a thin layer, the porous structure is fabricated by a template method, the flexible polymer prepolymer is uniformly mixed with salt, a film formation structure is fabricated and cured, andthe porous dielectric layer structure is obtained after salt removal. The flexible capacitive sensor is simple in fabrication method and has favorable signal response.
