Hereinafter reference will be made to the drawings each exemplary embodiment of the application is described in detail.It should be noted that unless in addition have Body illustrates that the unlimited system of component and the positioned opposite of step, numerical expression and the numerical value otherwise illustrated in these embodiments is originally The scope of application.
The description only actually at least one exemplary embodiment is illustrative to be never used as to the application below And its application or any restrictions that use.
It may be not discussed in detail for technology, method and apparatus known to person of ordinary skill in the relevant, but suitable In the case of, the technology, method and apparatus should be considered as part for specification.
In shown here and discussion all examples, any occurrence should be construed as merely exemplary, without It is as limitation.Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiment can have different values.

Carbon nanotubes is easy to the substrate for being embedded into flexible extensible, becomes resistance because of its unique mechanically and electrically performance One of ideal material of formula flexibility stress sensor.The existing carbon nano tube network for forming strain gauge is that plane is led mostly Electric network, that is to say, that carbon nanotubes is often random distribution and direction, and hereby power mutually interconnects by Robert Van de Walle each other Connect.Since this power is weaker, when exterior pulling force effect, phase can occur between the carbon nanotubes for being connected or being in contact originally To slip, thus the connection between some carbon nanotubes, which will will disconnect, causes carbon nanotubes connection dot density and number of conductive paths The reduction of amount, so as to cause resistance to increase, realizes the proportional relation of resistance and exterior tensile deformation.It is based on here it is common The operation principle of the resistance-type strain gauge of carbon nanotubes.
However, in the structure of plane conductive network of carbon nanotubes, carbon nanotubes link node is under small pulled out condition Number of fracture proportion shared in total nodal point number is much smaller than ratio of the number of fracture of the node under big stretching shared by remaining node Example, consequently leads to not very sensitive to small stretching based on strain gauge prepared by plane conductive network of carbon nanotubes.Thus The resistance of initiation and the non-linear dependence of strain also seriously limit the practicality of strain gauge.
Further, since the tensility of carbon nanotubes in itself only has 40%, less than traditional substrate material such as PDMS etc., because This carbon nanotubes under big stretching may be pulled off or be produced relative sliding between substrate.The fracture of carbon nanotubes can be led The irremediable increase of device resistance is caused, and opposite slide of carbon nanotubes and substrate can then cause carbon nanotubes to be discharged in pulling force Fold or bending are produced afterwards, so as to also make resistance can not be returned to initial value.Therefore, the stress for being prepared using carbon nanotubes For sensor, main challenge is exactly the restorability of device resistance and the sensitivity under small pulled out condition.
Vertical carbon nano tube network can solve the above problems to a certain extent.So-called vertical carbon nano tube network is exactly Carbon nanotubes is fixed on substrate in substantially vertical manner.Certain those skilled in the art know, due to carbon nanotubes Growth is realized by a series of physical chemical process, it is impossible to expects that every carbon nanotubes is all given birth in a manner of absolute vertical Length on substrate, therefore is herein apt using generally vertical description.
In vertical carbon nano tube network, carbon nanotubes is by close to being fixed on substrate in other words with small in a manner of vertical The angle tilt of angle is fixed on substrate, and conductive network of carbon nanotubes is formed with the carbon nanotubes of surrounding.Therefore, even if small Under pulled out condition, carbon nanotubes can also be moved with flexible substrate, cause substantial amounts of node to disconnect, and with substrate such as PDMS's Stretching, carbon nanotubes are thinned out, and the number that node caused by equal length stretching is lower disconnects diminishes, but remaining number of network nodes also exists Tail off, therefore the ratio for causing disconnected node number to account for remaining nodal point number is stablized relatively.
But this vertical carbon nanotube network is also problematic.Due to the frictional force between adjacent carbon nanotubes Hereby power etc. interacts with Robert Van de Walle, limits carbon nanotubes and is moved in stretching and release with substrate, when causing stretching Sensitivity (Gauge Factor, abbreviation GF) is unable to reach the desirable level of GF=7, can only achieve GF=2 or so.In addition, After stretching release, resistance can not also recover initial value.
In order to solve this problem, researcher in this field has attempted many different substrates, but all can not Find good alternative material.
Ecoflex is the silicone of the platinum catalysis produced by Smooth-On companies, is that one kind simply possesses multiduty Silica gel material.It is usually used to and prepares prosthese or mask.Present inventor has found that Ecoflex is a kind of non-by research Often soft polymeric material, its Young's modulus is 125kPa, similar with the pliability of human skin.It is existing compared to other Material such as PDMS, can realize enough high caking ability between Ecoflex and carbon nanotubes.Ecoflex also has extraordinary Ductility,
Its degree of stretch can be up to 900%, therefore be highly suitable for preparing and be used for such as strain gauge or pressure Sensor or even the nano materials of triboelectricity, optical signal transmission or flexible solar structure.In addition, as remembering above Carry, Ecoflex is a kind of polymer relative to ambient stable, and good waterproof performance, being suitable for long-term sensing should With.Importantly, by experiment present inventor obtained it is a kind of by Ecoflex and one-dimensional electric nano material for example The special material of carbon nanotubes synthesis, this material are very suitable for for preparing the device such as strain gauge or pressure sensor Part.

Fig. 3 a-3g are the process flow diagram that nano materials are prepared according to the application one embodiment.Fig. 4 is root The method flow diagram of nano materials is prepared according to the technological process of Fig. 3 introductions.
In step 402, as shown in Figure 3a, vertical carbon nano tube network 302 is prepared.According to one embodiment, can utilize Catalyst synthesizes vertical carbon nano tube network on substrate 304 using PECVD.According to one embodiment, catalyst can use Iron or other materials, substrate 304 can be silicon substrates.The producer can be given birth to by controlling the dosage of catalyst to control The density of long carbon nanotubes.The relation of density and nano materials performance in relation to carbon nanotubes, will behind the application It can be discussed in detail.
According to one embodiment, silicon substrate 304 can be placed in the chamber of high vacuum state first, and with 30sccm Flow velocity be passed through hydrogen and nitrogen be passed through with the flow velocity of 10sccm, and chamber temp is heated to 850 DEG C;Then with 35sccm Flow velocity be passed through reacting gas CH4, and the power of plasma is fixed on 200 watts.According to different embodiments, in order to control The length of vertical carbon nanotubes, reaction time can be differed at 40 seconds to 120 seconds.Length and synthesis nanometer in relation to carbon nanotubes The relation of material property, will be discussed in detail behind the application.
There can be the side wall of individual layer in the carbon nanotubes 302 that the step is formed, it is possible to have the side wall of multilayer.When So, other replacing as carbon nanotubes such as one-dimensional vertical conductive material such as zinc oxide nanowire, nano silver wire can also be used For Sexual behavior mode.
In step 404, first layer Ecoflex is formed on substrate 306 as connecting layer 308, as shown in Figure 3b, and is carried out Cure.According to one embodiment, substrate 306 can use PEN or PDMS material.According to one embodiment, hardening time can be with It it is 30 minutes, solidification temperature can be 70 DEG C.According to one embodiment, the thickness after Ecoflex connecting layers 308 cure can be 50-150 microns, such as particularly 100 microns.

Certainly, those skilled in the art know, subsequently also have some conventional steps, such as encapsulation etc..Because no It is the emphasis of the application, is not just repeated here herein.
Fig. 5 show side section and vertical view according to the nano materials of the application one embodiment
SEM schemes.As seen from the figure, carbon nanotubes is coated by Ecoflex in the curing process, forms synthesis knot one by one Structure, in this application we be called nm wall.
Nano materials provided herein can have different applications, such as can be used for preparing stress sensing Device, pressure sensor (such as being superimposed two layers of nano materials) or triboelectricity device etc..Passed below using stress Illustrated exemplified by sensor application.
Under conditions of Fig. 6 show according to the nano materials of the application one embodiment in tensionless winkler foundation and has a stretching Vertical view SEM figure.As seen from the figure, in the case of no stretching, nm wall contact close to each other;Under tension, at least The reduction of node quantity is separated from each other or contacted between the nm wall of part.Specifically, there is the synthesis nanometer material of said structure The micromechanism of the stress of material-sensitivity Behavioral change includes two parts:First, the carbon nanometer being covered by Ecoflex The stretching of pipe.Carbon nanotubes has elasticity well, and 40% can be stretched under the action of tensile stress.Therefore exist
In the case that Ecoflex transfer layers are stretched, carbon nanotubes can be stretched so as to cause contact to be tied together therewith Point is reduced.But anyway, the stretching of these carbon nanotubes is limited be subject to the structure for the nm wall being coated on outside it, therefore this Although increase of kind of the mechanism on nano materials overall resistance has influence, influence to be also than relatively limited.
Second of change mechanism is based on the contact node between the carbon nanotubes in adjacent nano wall outer surface Separation is reduced.That is, carbon nanotubes in adjacent nano wall outer surface in the case of tensionless winkler foundation may at one or It is in contact with each other at multiple nodes;But under tension, the contact at the one or more node may be disconnected or separated. In contrast, influence of second of the mechanism to nano materials resistance is much larger than the first mechanism.Since vertical carbon pipe is embedded in In Ecoflex, the influence of the frictional force between a large amount of carbon pipes is broken away from, therefore the structure of the application nm wall is made frictional force Into negative effect fall below it is minimum.
The length of carbon nanotubes for the application nano materials performance there is influence, certainly should according to different With the length of carbon nanotubes can be different, but utilizes the structure of the application, and the length of carbon nanotubes cannot be too short, no Above-mentioned nanometer wall construction can not then be formed.For example, in the case of using 15 microns thick of Ecoflex transfer layers, if carbon The length of nanotube is 5 microns, and after Ecoflex layers are cured, surface can not just form the structure of nm wall, carbon nanotubes Flooded completely by Ecoflex polymer, the synthetic upper surface formed is flat, the sensitivity pole of such synthetic material Difference, only 0.5 or so.This is because not forming a nanometer wall construction, all carbon nanotubes are fixed on Ecoflex by collective and turn Move in layer, therefore above-mentioned second of change mechanism can not play a role completely.Opposite, using 15 microns thick In the case of Ecoflex transfer layers, if the length of carbon nanotubes is 10 microns or 15 microns, be cured at Ecoflex layers with Afterwards, a nanometer wall construction can be formed, and there is the sheet resistance of 3.8k Ω/sq and 2.2k Ω/sq respectively.Thus, Relation between Ecoflex transfer layers and the length of carbon nanotubes is also critically important, and in general can use has and carbon nanometer The similar Ecoflex transfer layers of length of tube.
Fig. 7 show the resistance using the nano materials of 10 microns and 15 microns long of carbon nanotubes preparation with stretching Degree and the curve map changed.As seen from the figure, embodied using the nano materials of 10 microns of carbon nanotubes preferably sensitive (gauge factor, abbreviation GF) i.e. slope of a curve is spent, can reach 18.This is because the nanometer that short nanotube is formed The number of nodes that wall contacts each other is fewer than the node for the nm wall that relatively long carbon nanotubes is formed, therefore identical Under pulled out condition, the separated change ratio of node is with regard to bigger, therefore sensitivity is with regard to higher.
Fig. 8 show the synthesis nanometer material prepared using 10 microns and 15 microns long of the carbon nanotubes with different densities The curve map that material resistance variations ratio changes with level of stretch.It is as shown in the figure, micro- using the carbon nanotubes such as 10 of equal length Rice, the dosage of catalyst such as iron is bigger, and carbon nanotube density is lower, and the sensitivity of nano materials is higher, but linearly more Difference.This is because the density of carbon nanotubes is low, total contact node quantity is relatively few, therefore will be more sensitive to stretching, because This high sensitivity;But stretch range is bigger, the increase of node disconnection number is faster in the case that carbon nanotube density is low, therefore The ratio of resistance variations is higher, therefore nano materials is linear poorer.
Using 10 microns of long carbon nanotubes nano materials high sensitivity in using 15 microns of carbon nanotubes Nano materials, this matches with result above and explanation;But in the case where significantly stretching, using 15 microns The linear carbon nanotubes for being better than 10 microns of the nano materials of carbon nanotubes.It is in contact with each other this is because carbon nanotubes is longer Node it is more, therefore with longer carbon nanotubes nano materials stretching produce nodal point number change relative to residue The change of the ratio of nodal point number is relatively more stable.
Fig. 9 show the resistance variations ratios of nano materials prepared by the vertical carbon nano tube network of traditional use with The curve map of level of stretch change.As seen from the figure level of stretch be 100% in the case of, resistance variations ratio less than 2.5, but Be as shown in fig. 7, in the embodiment of the present application use nano materials prepared by 10 microns of carbon nanotubes level of stretch for Resistance variations ratio can be up to 8 in the case of 100%, be nano materials prepared by conventional vertical carbon nano tube network Nearly four times.
Figure 10 show the resistance variations ratio according to the nano materials of the application one embodiment with drawing numbers Variation diagram.As seen from the figure after the stretching of 400 times is lived through, the resistance susceptibility for the nano materials that the application provides becomes Change little, it is seen that it is with good reliability.
Figure 10 show the change with temperature according to the resistance variations ratios of the nano materials of the application one embodiment Change figure.As seen from the figure, with the rise of temperature, the resistance value of nano materials has declined, but amplitude is very small.This Illustrate that the temperature stability for the nano materials that the application provides is fine.
In the application, vertical carbon nanotubes is shifted as medium using Ecoflex layers, formed vertical carbon nanotubes and The nanometer wall construction that Ecoflex is mixed so that reached sensitive using the transducer sensitivity of this nano materials The desirable level (GF=3~18) of degree.This is because two kinds of coefficient knots of change mechanism of foregoing nano materials Fruit.Carbon nanotubes in one side nm wall is stretched with the stretching of transfer layer, and in nm wall microstructured edge or outer The carbon nanotubes on surface and the carbon nanotubes at edge in adjacent nano wall form tunnel junctions, and the mechanism in stretching is received with vertical carbon Nanotube networks are similar but do not have the drawbacks of numerical value carbon nano tube network.Further, since carbon nanotubes is coated by Ecoflex, So its Ecoflex with cladding is moved together in outer masterpiece used time, carbon nanotubes, from the influence of frictional force, is ensured The stability of sensor.
