Description

Flexible high-flexibility nanofiber core-spun yarn stress sensor with fold structure and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of flexible sensors, and relates to a flexible high-flexibility nanofiber core-spun yarn stress sensor with a fold structure and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a flexible high-flexibility nanofiber core-spun yarn sensor with a fold structure, which is prepared by an electrostatic spinning technology and a liquid deposition polymerization technology and is applied to a human health monitoring system.
Background
Human skin is capable of transmitting various mechanical stimuli from the external environment to the brain. Achieving this function in artificial skin is key to creating advanced humanoid robots, biomedical prostheses, surgical electronic gloves and wearable health monitoring devices. In order to mimic the properties of human skin, artificial skin should have the ability to measure the spatial distribution of stress caused by a variety of mechanical stimuli such as normal pressure, lateral strain and flexion, in order to be able to master control and record body movements, secondly, scalability is an important property of artificial skin, ensuring that it adaptively covers surfaces that are arbitrarily curved and moving, such as the joints of a robotic arm, and is subject to repeated and prolonged mechanical deformations, such as bending and twisting, and thirdly, in order to achieve a wide range of applications of artificial skin in daily life, artificial skin should be compatible with large area preparation, and low material costs. In the last decade, the development of artificial skin based on pressure sensor arrays on flexible substrates has been greatly advanced, with high sensitivity, fast response speed and resolution of tactile mapping, but at a large distance from human skin, these pressure sensor arrays lack stretchability and can only provide the function of spatial pressure distribution information. In order to solve the problems, the selection of a new structural design sensor of an intrinsically stretchable material is an effective strategy for manufacturing a sensor with multiple mechanical force sensitivity and stretching mechanical property, so that the design of an ultrasensitive nanofiber core spun yarn stress sensor with small volume, good flexibility and high stretching property is the key for solving the problems.
Electrostatic spinning is a simple, highly efficient, and most attractive nanotechnology. Nanofibers prepared by electrospinning have shown good applicability in many fields due to their small size, high void fraction and large specific surface area. Therefore, the invention adopts high-performance elastic filament as core yarn as high-elasticity elastic matrix, firstly coats the surface of the elastic filament pre-stretched to a certain length with electrostatic spinning nano-fiber to prepare continuous nano-fiber core-spun yarn by a conjugated electrostatic spinning technology, and releases the pre-stretched elastic filament (core yarn) to obtain the nano-fiber core-spun yarn with a fold structure. And then grafting a layer of conductive polymer on the surface of the nanofiber of the core-spun yarn, and finally compounding a gel film with a conductive copper wire on the surface of the yarn to obtain the flexible high-flexibility nanofiber core-spun yarn stress sensor with a corrugated structure, and applying the sensor to wearable electronic skin.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the problems in the prior art, the invention provides a preparation method of a yarn stress sensor with high flexibility and high elasticity and a fold structure. The high-performance elastic filament is used as a core yarn as a high-flexibility elastic matrix, and then the surface of the elastic filament pre-stretched to a certain length is coated with electrostatic spinning nano-fibers through a conjugated electrostatic spinning technology to prepare the continuous nano-fiber core-spun yarn. Due to the stiffness mismatch between the nanofibers and the highly elastic filaments, releasing the pre-stretched elastic filaments can result in a nanofiber core spun yarn with a periodic crimp structure.

When the nanofiber yarn stress sensor is subjected to external stimuli such as stretching, bending and pressure, the nanofiber yarn stress sensor not only has good mechanical adaptability, but also shows ultrahigh stress sensitivity and a wider sensing range.
