Description

Intelligent urine-proof fibrous sensor and preparation and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of diapers, and relates to a fibrous sensor for intelligent diapers and preparation and application thereof.
Background
With the aging of population, the problem of old age becomes very serious, and in the face of the serious aging problem, the nation has started a birth control policy to relieve the problem of old age, and the diaper is widely applied in the market as a necessary daily article for infants or aged people with incontinence and urine (CN 109124885A). Diapers, also known as diapers, paper diapers and diapers, are worn on or under the body of a person to prevent the person from urinating or defecating. The diapers in the market all use water-absorbing materials with strong water absorption capacity which can be up to 50 times of the self weight (such as CN110575317A and CN 205814543U). However, the diaper often has only a water absorbing function, and not only can cause discomfort when being wetted by urine and contacting human skin for a long time, but also can cause skin diseases such as eczema (for example, CN112190399A, CN107802409A, CN107049611A and descriptions in Battery-less smart dispenser base on nfc technology, Diagnosis and management of dispenser chemistry in with lotion on microbiota in the dispenser area, etc.). Therefore, it is necessary to detect the wetting of the diaper in a timely manner.
At present, the wetting condition of the diaper is mainly judged through external color change, but the shielding of clothes is not beneficial to observation of a guardian, and methods such as judgment, timing viewing and the like are carried out according to experience, but the phenomenon that the diaper is still usable due to the fact that the diaper is forgotten to be replaced or no urine is found after replacement is easily caused is very inconvenient for the guardian.
In recent years, intelligent diapers capable of detecting the wetting condition of the diapers have also appeared, and the intelligent diapers mainly consist of a diaper material and a detection device (such as CN112426275A, CN211023530U and CN 110575317A). The diaper material mainly comprises a hydrophilic layer, an inner non-woven fabric layer, an absorption layer, an outer non-woven fabric layer and a waterproof layer, the detector mainly comprises a plurality of commercialized liquid sensors, signal transmitters and the like, the liquid sensors, the signal transmitters and the like are wrapped in the diaper to detect urine, the signal transmitters transmit information received by the sensing elements to an external smart phone APP and the like, and therefore detection of a guardian on the wet state of the diaper is achieved.
The ideal intelligent diaper internal testing device can be popularized and used only by the following characteristics: (1) the existence of the detection device does not influence the user experience and has no foreign body sensation; (2) the sensing performance is not influenced by the deformation caused by the turning of the body; (3) the price is reasonable; (4) the use is sanitary and convenient. However, the current intelligent urine-retention use has more problems, such as: the sensing element is often made of a semiconductor material, the device has no flexibility and stretchability, is embedded in the diaper, often brings uncomfortable user experience, aggravates foreign body sensation, has a slipping phenomenon, and is relatively high in cost (such as CN110507481A and CN 109124885A). And the internal sensing device is often disposable, thus causing a large amount of electronic waste and environmental pollution.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the problems of increased cost and foreign body sensation of the intelligent diaper caused by the existence of metal materials and inorganic semiconductor materials which are often adopted by the existing intelligent diaper sensor, the invention provides a fibrous sensor for the intelligent diaper and preparation and application thereof. Fiber sensors endowed with special functions are extensively used in the research of wearable devices due to the unique flexibility of fibers. The fiber sensor is used, so that on one hand, the use of metal materials and inorganic materials is avoided, and the condition of slipping of the device is prevented; on the other hand, the fiber sensor is flexible and easy to deform, is perfectly combined with the diaper, and has no foreign body sensation. Therefore, the sensing device which is flexible, can quickly detect the wetting condition and is convenient to use has very important significance when being used for intelligent diapers.
One of the purposes of the invention is to provide a preparation method of an intelligent urine-proof fibrous sensor, which is prepared by composite spinning of bacterial cellulose nanofibers and carbon materials (including carbon nanotubes and graphene);

the freeze drying is carried out at-60 ℃ for 12-48 hours, so that the obtained compound is fluffy and porous, and the dissolving process is facilitated;
(2) preparing the composite prepared in the step (1) into spinning solution (the carbon material is easy to agglomerate and directly dissolves to cause that the carbon material cannot be uniformly dispersed in the spinning solution, the spinning continuity is influenced, and the mechanical property of the spun fiber is reduced due to uneven dispersion of the carbon material) to carry out dry-wet spinning to obtain composite fiber, namely a fibrous sensor;
the composite fiber is of a linear or spiral structure along the axial direction of the fiber, and the diameter of the composite fiber is 50-300 mu m.

According to the preparation method of the intelligent fibrous sensor for the baby diapers, the spiral shape is that one end of the fiber directly prepared by dry-wet spinning is fixed at one end of the cylindrical winding rod of the motor, the other end of the fiber is wound on the winding rod along with the rotation of the motor, and after the fiber is completely wound uniformly, the winding rod wound with the fiber is taken down; after the winding rod is air-dried, the winding rod is removed under the condition of keeping the shape and the structure of the fiber unchanged, and the spiral composite fiber is obtained;
the direct preparation refers to that the fiber prepared by dry-wet spinning is directly wound on a winding rod after being pulled out from a coagulating bath and passing through an air section of 0-50 cm.
The rotating speed of the motor is 1-108 r/min; the air drying temperature is 20-25 ℃, the air quantity is 0.25-1 m/s, and the time is 12-48 h;
according to the preparation method of the intelligent diaper fibrous sensor, the diameter of the winding rod is 0.7-2.1 cm.

The strain range refers to the range within which the fiber sensor can be strained.
The breaking stress and strain range were tested using an electronic universal material tester to record the breaking stress and maximum elongation of the spiral fiber, with a sensor of 1000N and a tensile rate of 100 mm/min.
The fiber sensor is connected into the circuit and is immersed into urine for testing, and the test result is as follows: the current through the fiber sensor before immersion is I0The current through the fiber-shaped sensor after immersion is I, and (I-I)0)/I0The value of x 100% is 1 x 10 or more within 1 second3%, indicating excellent sensing performance. The change in current was recorded using the Shanghai Chenghua CHI 660E electrochemical workstation.
The invention also provides an intelligent diaper applying the fibrous sensor, which comprises a diaper body and a detection device, wherein the diaper body is sequentially superposed with a hydrophilic layer, an inner non-woven fabric layer, a water absorption layer, an outer non-woven fabric layer and a waterproof layer from top to bottom; the liquid sensor is the fibrous sensor, and the fibrous sensor is arranged in the outer non-woven fabric layer (the fibrous sensor is arranged in the outer non-woven fabric layer, under the condition that the urine amount is very small, the water-absorbent resin directly absorbs the urine and cannot reach the outer non-woven fabric layer, so that the waste of the diaper is not caused).

Furthermore, in dry-wet spinning, after the fibers are drawn out of the coagulation bath, they are replaced in water to remove unreacted substances, and then air-dried in a fume hood, and as the moisture is unevenly evaporated, the fiber surface forms a ravine structure to increase the specific surface area of the fiber, and one of the important characteristics of the sensing material is that it has a high surface area, which allows water molecules and ions to rapidly diffuse in the material channel.
The water washability of the fiber sensor determines its reusability.
