Abstract

The invention provides a high-sensitivity stretchable flexible strain sensor and a preparation method thereof. The flexible strain sensor includes a composite material which is formed by coating polyurethane foam with graphene and a nickel film with cracks in sequence from inside to outside, and a packaging layer which packages the composite material. As the graphene and the nickel film with cracks are arranged on the polyurethane foam, the sensitivity of the sensor can be greatly improved when the sensor is stretched. The PDMS package further improves the bending and tensile properties of theflexible strain sensor. The problem that a sensor has low sensitivity, low stretchability and poor long-time use stability under strain tension is solved, and the sensing performance is greatly improved. The method of the invention is simple, and low in cost. The problem that the flexible strain sensor process is complex and costs high and the flexible strain sensor prepared has low conductivityand poor reusability is solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of composite materials, and relates to a flexible strain sensor and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a high-sensitivity stretchable flexible strain sensor and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the development of flexible wearable devices and robotics industry, smart wearable flexible devices have been widely used in people's lives and human-computer interaction interfaces, and have gradually become an important direction and technology for the development of smart technology in the future. For flexible wearable devices, maintaining relatively stable sensitivity under different strains is an important part of realizing their normal operation. Therefore, it is important to develop flexible strain sensors with high conductivity and high reliability under different strains. [0003] In the current research on flexible strain sensors, graphene, carbon nanotubes, metal nanowires...
