Description

Method for preparing flexible piezoresistive shear force sensor by utilizing 3D printing
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of flexible sensors, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a flexible piezoresistive shear force sensor by using a 3D printing technology.
Background
The shear force sensor is an important branch of a wide variety of sensors, and the function of the shear force sensor is to quantitatively convert shear force caused by the shear force into signals such as electric signals and the like, record the signals and feed the signals back to human beings. Due to the limitation of the development of material science and electronic science, the shear force sensors which are common nowadays comprise fiber bragg grating sensors, spoke type shear force sensors and dot matrix type shear force sensors, most of the sensors are made of metal materials and semiconductor materials, and have some defects, such as complex preparation process, high cost and unsuitability for batch production; the structure is complex and heavy, and is not suitable for being attached to a human body; complex force such as torsional force, tangential force and the like can not be effectively detected; the sensitivity, stability and other properties of the sensor cannot meet the increasing demands of people.
With the development of new materials, the nanometer conductive composite material attracts the attention of researchers in China and abroad, and the application of the nanometer conductive composite material in the field of force sensors is rapidly developed in recent years. The nano-conductive composite is generally composed of two parts, a polymer elastomer and a conductive nano-filler. The polymer elastomer serves as a matrix of the conductive nanocomposite, and the polymer matrix can generate corresponding deformation along with external force when external force is applied. The conductive nano filler plays a role in constructing a conductive network in the composite material, and when the sensor deforms, the conductive network can be reconstructed or destroyed along with the deformation of the polymer matrix, so that the change of the total resistance value can objectively reflect the stress of the conductive composite material. Carbon nanomaterials have the advantages of high strength and mechanical properties, excellent electrical conductivity, nano-scale microstructure and the like, so that the carbon nanomaterials are widely used as conductive fillers of conductive nanocomposites, and the applications of carbon nanotubes, graphene nanoplatelets, carbon black and carbon fibers in the conductive nanocomposites are widely researched up to now. The nano conductive composite material has the advantages of light weight, flexibility and good processability, and particularly has the advantage of easy processing, so that the nano conductive composite material is widely applied to the preparation of the flexible piezoresistive shear force sensor. The property of the conductive nano-filler has great influence on the sensing performance of the conductive nano-composite material, and the nano-filler is easy to agglomerate in a matrix due to the extremely high surface energy of the nano-filler so as to reduce the utilization efficiency of the filler, so that the reduction of the agglomeration degree of the nano-filler has important significance for improving the performance of the composite material.
However, most of the manufacturing methods of the flexible force sensor generally have some problems, for example, the manufacturing process is complicated and long in period, and the manufacturing method is not easy to be put into production in a large scale in batch; only some strain sensors with simple structures can be prepared, and the preparation of flexible sensors with certain customized structures has challenges; the preparation process is not environment-friendly, and the process of preparing the flexible force sensor is often accompanied with the generation of byproducts which are harmful to the environment. Particularly, a sensor with a customized structure is required to detect the stress in some special environments or special stresses, but the sensor with a certain specific structure prepared by a conventional method has the difficulties of difficult molding, low molding precision, high mold opening cost and the like. To address these ubiquitous challenges, methods of making flexible force sensors using 3D printing technology have been proposed. The 3D printing manufacturing process has the advantages of rapidness, simplicity, high forming precision, no byproduct generation and capability of manufacturing various structural products. 3D printing technology is also applied to the manufacturing process of the flexible force sensor, so that the flexible force sensor with a customized structure is manufactured for reality.

Detailed Description
The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and it will be understood that they are described herein for the purpose of illustration and explanation and not limitation.
As shown in fig. 1, a process flow diagram of the present invention for manufacturing a flexible piezoresistive shear force sensor by using 3D printing technology is presented. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a conductive network of isolated double percolation structure formed in a method of making a sensor according to the present invention.
In the preparation method, the proportion of the filler and the polymer is the proportion of the percolation threshold of the conductivity of the composite material, and the percolation threshold refers to the value of the conductivity of the composite material which is subjected to sudden change along with the addition of the conductive filler, so that the conductive filler can be understood as the proportion of the conductivity of the composite material which is just formed by the conductive network in the process of adding less conductive filler and more conductive filler, and the conductive network is subjected to larger change when the composite material of the proportion is subjected to strain, so that the resistance of the material is subjected to larger strain signal response.
Example 1
The flexible piezoresistive shear force sensor is prepared by taking a composite material of a multiwalled carbon nanotube/graphene nanosheet and TPU/SBS as a raw material. In the system, the sensor has better sensing performance when the mass fraction of the filler is within the range of 2-5 wt%, preferably the mass fraction of the conductive filler is 3 wt%, and the specific steps are as follows:
and S1, adding 0.45g of two nano-filler multi-walled carbon nanotubes and 0.15g of graphene nano-sheets into 200mL of DMF (dimethyl formamide) organic solvent, and performing ultrasonic dispersion treatment for 1 hour with the ultrasonic oscillation power of 100W to completely disperse the nano-fillers in the solvent to obtain a dispersion liquid.
Step S2, adding 10g of Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) into the dispersion liquid obtained in the step S1, heating the mixture in an oil bath kettle at the temperature of 80 ℃ for 2 hours, stirring the mixture to completely dissolve the thermoplastic polyurethane in the organic solvent, wherein the stirring speed is 450 revolutions per minute; a suspension was obtained.
And S3, putting the suspension into a blast oven, drying for 24 hours at the temperature of 80 ℃, completely removing the organic solvent to obtain a blocky conductive composite material, shearing the conductive composite material, mixing the conductive composite material with 10g of styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer (SBS), and melting and extruding the mixture into wires at the temperature of 180 ℃ by using a single-screw extruder.
And S4, printing the silk material into a sensor with a customized structure by using an FDM3D printer, inserting a light hard rod on the sensor to amplify the shearing force, and finally fixing the lead on the sensor through conductive silver adhesive, wherein the conductive silver adhesive is cured for 2 hours at the temperature of 60 ℃ to obtain the flexible shearing force sensor. A schematic diagram of a flexible shear force sensor electrode assembly is shown in fig. 3. The size and weight of the flexible shear force sensor are shown in fig. 4 and 5. As shown in fig. 6, when the stressed thin rod of the shear force sensor is subjected to shear forces in different directions, due to the leverage of the structure formed by the thin rod and the shear force sensor, the deflection process of the flexible shear force sensor causes the cross structure at the lower part of the shear force sensor to be greatly deformed at the position in the opposite direction (opposite to the direction of the shear force) of the deflection direction, so that the conductive network inside the sensor matrix is also damaged along with the deformation of the matrix, and thus the corresponding output current signal is also reduced. In addition, the shearing force with different sizes can cause deformation with different sizes on the sensor structure, so that the change rate of the current signal output by the sensor can reflect the damage degree of the conductive network in the sensor, and the shearing force applied to the sensor can be indirectly reflected.
In step S4, the 3D printing process parameters are shown in table 1.

The top of the thin rod of the flexible shear force sensor prepared in example 1 is repeatedly stirred by using a writing brush, the change condition of the sensor relative to current under a small shear force is shown in fig. 7, when the thin rod of the sensor deflects along the direction of the shear force due to a slight shear force, the cross structure of the sensor deforms along the direction of the shear force, the conductive network structure in the sensor is damaged due to the deformation of the elastic composite material, the output current is reduced, when the shear force does not act on the thin rod, the shear force sensor recovers, the conductive network in the sensor recovers to the initial state, and the output current signal is increased again as shown in fig. 7. Fig. 8 is a sensing stability test chart of the flexible shear force sensor of embodiment 1 with an angle of 5 ° deflection, and a process of repeatedly loading 1500 times to a stressed thin rod of the shear force sensor with an angle of 5 ° deflection and an initial state recovery is given, the current output process of the shear force sensor shown in fig. 8 remains substantially stable, and a current output signal in an early stage of cyclic loading is substantially consistent with a current output signal in a later stage of cyclic loading, which shows that the shear force sensor has the capability of being repeatedly used for a long time.
