Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of capacitive sensors, and particularly relates to an ultra-sensitive capacitive flexible pressure sensor and a preparation method thereof.
Background
As one of the current research hotspots, intelligent robots are increasingly applied to daily life. Robots are well developed and widely used in these fields, thanks to their ability to perceive the external environment and their good adaptability. The sensing system is a main window for information exchange between the robot and the outside, and is the basis of the sensing capability of the robot, the robot senses the state of the surrounding environment according to different sensing elements arranged on the robot body, transmits sensing signals to the central processing system through the internal system for analysis and processing, and controls the actuator to execute corresponding actions through corresponding instructions, so that the whole loop for executing the actions by the robot is completed. For a robot, the sense of touch provides it with information about physical contact, which is one of the important perception abilities of the robot, assisting it in manipulating unknown objects in an unknown environment.
The tactile sensors currently used on robots include: piezoelectric sensors, triboelectric sensors, resistive sensors, capacitive sensors, and the like. Compared with other types of sensors, the capacitive sensor has the advantages of simple structure, easiness in manufacturing, higher sensitivity, good dynamic response, higher resolution and the like, and is widely applied to measuring physical parameters such as displacement, acceleration, pressure and the like. However, the traditional capacitive sensor can not meet the requirements in the aspects of shape retention, flexibility, stretchability and the like. The flexible capacitive sensor not only has the advantages, but also has good stretchability, shape retention and flexibility, can be used for detecting on a complex surface, and is widely applied to the fields of electronic skin, contact measurement, flexible antennas, biosensors and the like.
The high sensitivity is a hotspot of research on flexible capacitive sensors, and the preparation of an electrode layer or a dielectric layer with a microstructure on the surface can improve the sensitivity and response speed of the sensor, such as a micro pyramid array, a micro column array, a fingerprint structure, a microstructure copied from plants (such as lotus leaves and roses), and the like. Besides introducing the microstructure into the sensor structure, the sensor can also utilize the super-capacitance principle and adopt the ionic gel as a dielectric layer to enable the interface between the dielectric layer and the electrode to form an electric double layer capacitance to improve the interface capacitance density, thereby further improving the sensitivity of the sensor. In order to achieve increased sensitivity and pressure resolution at higher pressures, the dielectric layer is of a multi-level microstructure, such that further compressive deformation of the intermediate dielectric layer can also increase sensitivity using the microstructure. In the manufacture of multilevel microstructures, flexible electronic technology is not used in solid electronic technology, so that the traditional semiconductor technology is also adopted in a large quantity, but some flexible materials have poor adaptability to the traditional technology, so that improvement of the preparation technology is necessary.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

the upper electrode layer and the lower electrode layer have the same structure and both comprise a flexible base material and a conductive material embedded on the surface of the flexible base material; the upper electrode layer and the lower electrode layer are made of conductive materials with certain stretchability, so that the tensile property of the electrode layers is improved, the stability of the sensor is improved, and the durability of the sensor is improved; the surface of the middle dielectric layer is provided with a micro-groove structure, and a micro-cone structure is arranged in the micro-groove structure, so that the contact area between the middle dielectric layer and the upper electrode layer or the lower electrode layer is increased, the sensitivity of the ultra-sensitive capacitive flexible pressure sensor is improved, when the flexible sensor is subjected to pressure or tensile force, the capacitance between the upper electrode layer and the lower electrode layer is changed, and the pressure or tensile force applied to the flexible sensor is obtained by measuring the change of the capacitance of the flexible sensor.
When the sensor is subjected to pressure or tensile force, the surface micro-cone structure of the middle dielectric layer increases the contact area between the dielectric layer and the electrode layer, so that the sensitivity of the sensor is increased, and the sensor has a lower detection limit; the dielectric layer shows larger deformation and compressibility in a wider pressure range by utilizing the micro-groove structure on the surface of the dielectric layer; the sensor has high sensitivity in a wide pressure range by utilizing a micro-cone structure in a dielectric surface micro-groove structure.

The solvent for dissolving the polyvinyl alcohol sacrificial layer is water, so that the silicon chip and the sensor cannot be damaged, and the environment cannot be polluted. In step S12, the mask is a PVC film, wallpaper, or scotch tape.
Further, in step S2, the solute of the ionic gel solution is mixed with poly (vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) P (VDF-HFP) and/or 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide [ EMIM ] [ TFSI ] in a mixing mass ratio of 1: 3; the elastic material is copolyester compound, silicon-based polymer (polydimethylsiloxane), silica gel compound or rubber compound, and the solvent of the ionic gel solution is preferably acetone or DMF solution.
