Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of flexible electronic materials, relates to preparation of a flexible strain sensor, and particularly relates to a preparation method of gradient macroporous conductive composite hydrogel applied to the flexible strain sensor.
Background
Along with the development of wearable electronic equipment and the attention of people to body health, the application demand of the flexible strain sensor in the field of human motion monitoring is larger and larger. The traditional sensor cannot bear excessive deformation due to the brittleness of the sensor, the requirement of monitoring the motion of the human body cannot be met, and meanwhile, the development of the traditional sensor is further limited by the complex process and the expensive cost. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a flexible strain sensor having a wide strain detection range, high sensitivity, and low cost.
The hydrogel has high water content and good biocompatibility, and can be combined with a conductive substance to prepare the hydrogel-based flexible strain sensor with flexibility and conductivity. Polyaniline can be conductive after being doped, so that the conductivity is high, the raw materials are easy to obtain, and the synthesis process is simple, so that the introduction of polyaniline into hydrogel for preparing the flexible sensor is concerned. However, the general pore diameter of the hydrogel is small (usually less than 1 μm, and can reach several micrometers after pore formation), and the phenomenon of hydrogel pore channel blockage is easy to occur in the process of in-situ polymerization of adsorbed aniline, so that the utilization rate of aniline is low, and the sensitivity of the sensor is affected. In addition, polyaniline undergoes volume expansion when electrified for a long time, resulting in structural damage and performance degradation.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a preparation method of gradient macroporous conductive composite hydrogel applied to a flexible strain sensor aiming at the defects of the prior art.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
a gradient macroporous conductive composite hydrogel applied to a flexible strain sensor is prepared by the following steps:

The sodium chloride/sodium dodecyl sulfate solution in the step (1) is prepared by dissolving 0.05-0.15g of sodium chloride and 0.1-0.3g of sodium dodecyl sulfate in 10ml of deionized water. The hydrophobic monomer is alkyl methacrylate, and the alkyl carbon chain length of the hydrophobic monomer is 8-18 carbon atoms. The foaming agent is any one of sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, ammonium carbonate and ammonium bicarbonate.
The organic acid in the step (2) is any one of oxalic acid, ascorbic acid, valine, leucine and cysteine.
The molar ratio of the phytic acid to the aniline hydrochloride in the mixed solution in the step (3) is 0.15; the molar ratio of ammonium persulfate to aniline hydrochloride used was 1:1.
According to the invention, graphene and polyaniline are jointly used as conductive substances, and the structural integrity of polyaniline is enhanced through pi-pi conjugation of the graphene and the polyaniline, so that the circulation stability of the composite hydrogel is improved. And the polyacrylamide is used as a flexible substrate, and organic acid is utilized to react with a foaming agent to release CO 2 Constructing a gradient macroporous structure (pores) for the hydrogelThe diameter is from dozens of microns to 100 microns), the problem that aniline monomer and ammonium persulfate initiator are not easy to permeate into hydrogel during in-situ polymerization of hydrogel and pore channels are easy to block during in-situ polymerization of aniline is solved, and the specificity of the gradient structure of the aniline in-situ polymerization significantly improves the sensitivity of hydrogel, so that the flexible strain sensing material with strong mechanical property, high sensitivity and good cycling stability is prepared by a simple synthesis process.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages:
(1) According to the invention, hydrophobic monomers enter the micelle under the action of a surfactant, and a hydrophobic association micro-region is formed by a micelle copolymerization method, so that a physical reversible crosslinking point is added to the hydrogel, and a large amount of hydrogen bond actions are formed between hydroxyl and carboxyl on the surface of graphene oxide and an amide group on a polyacrylamide chain, so that the mechanical property of the hydrogel is obviously enhanced.
(2) The invention constructs a macroporous structure with gradient pore diameter change (the pore diameter is from dozens of micrometers to 100 micrometers) for the hydrogel by using a foaming method, solves the problem that pore channels are easy to block due to too small pore diameter when the hydrogel is polymerized in situ, and obviously improves the sensitivity in a mode of synergistically increasing the resistance when the gradient macroporous structure is stretched;
(3) The organic acid adopted by the invention is reductive organic acid which is used as a foaming promoter to react with a foaming agent to control the release of CO 2 And the graphene oxide in the hydrogel is reduced as a reducing agent, so that the function of the organic acid is fully exerted, new impurities are not introduced, and the cost is reduced.
(4) According to the invention, graphene and polyaniline are jointly used as conductive fillers, and the strong pi-pi conjugated acting force of the graphene and the polyaniline can enable the polyaniline to be tightly attached to the surface of the graphene, so that the structural integrity of the polyaniline is improved, the structural damage caused by volume expansion of the polyaniline under long-time electrification is prevented, and the circulation stability is enhanced; and polyacrylamide is used as a flexible substrate to form a double-network hydrogel structure, and a large amount of hydrogen bonds between two networks have the effects of improving the mechanical property of the hydrogel, increasing a conductive path and improving the conductivity of the hydrogel.

FIG. 1 is an electron microscope image of the gradient macroporous conductive composite hydrogel prepared in example 1. As can be seen from the figure, the pore diameter of the porous material changes in a gradient manner, and the overall pore diameter is distributed within 20 to 100 μm. The macroporous structure can solve the problem that the pore channel is easy to block during the in-situ polymerization of the aniline.
FIG. 2 is a graph comparing the mechanical properties of hydrogel materials prepared in example 1 with those of comparative examples 1, 2 and 3. As can be seen from the figure, the gradient macroporous conductive composite hydrogel prepared in example 1 has an elongation at break of 510% and a stress at break of 0.65MPa, and exhibits excellent mechanical properties. The hydrogel material prepared in comparative example 1 has an elongation at break of 470% and a stress at break of 0.23MPa, which is because the hydrogel material of comparative example 1 does not contain graphene oxide, and only contains hydrophobic association physical crosslinking and slight chemical crosslinking of MBA in the internal network, resulting in a material strength significantly lower than that of example 1. The hydrogel material prepared in comparative example 2 has elongation at break of 571% and stress at break of 0.84MPa, which is 3.65 times that of the hydrogel without graphene oxide in comparative example 1. The graphene oxide is mainly characterized in that the surface of the graphene oxide is rich in oxygen-containing groups such as hydroxyl groups and carboxyl groups, and can form a large number of hydrogen bonds with amino groups on polyacrylamide, so that a large number of physical crosslinking points are provided for the overall network structure of the hydrogel, a large number of energy dissipation can be provided for the hydrogel during stretching, and the mechanical properties of the hydrogel are remarkably enhanced. This shows that the addition of graphene oxide can provide excellent mechanical properties for the material. Compared with the comparative example 2, the mechanical property of the hydrogel material prepared by the comparative example 3 is reduced, and the stress is almost recovered to the level of the graphene oxide without addition of the graphene oxide, wherein the elongation at break is 388%, the stress at break is 0.27MPa, and the conductivity is 9.63 mS/m. The graphene oxide is reduced, so that a large number of original oxygen-containing groups on a sheet layer of the graphene oxide are removed, and a large number of hydrogen bonds can not be formed, so that the mechanical property is reduced to be close to that of the comparative example 1; however, after reduction, the hydrogel material also has conductivity, and compared with example 1, as comparative example 3 does not contain polyaniline, a large number of hydrogen bonds can be formed between polyaniline segments and polyacrylamide chains, and polyaniline and graphene have pi-pi effect, polyaniline can be attached to the surface of graphene to form a plurality of cross-linking points, the mechanical property of comparative example 3 is also obviously lower than that of example 1.
FIG. 3 is an electron micrograph of the conductive composite hydrogel prepared in comparative example 5. As can be seen from the figure, the hydrogel material prepared using white granulated sugar had a uniform pore size of 10 μm, compared to example 1.
FIG. 4 is a graph comparing the sensitivity of the hydrogel flexible strain sensing materials prepared in example 1 and comparative examples 4 and 5. It can be seen from the figure that the gradient macroporous conductive composite hydrogel prepared in example 1 has a resistance change rate of 2835% under a strain of 400%, has a wide strain sensing range and high sensitivity, is subjected to sensitivity fitting within a strain range of 150% -400%, has a sensitivity factor as high as 8.86, and is a very effective flexible strain sensor material. This is mainly due to the fact that the hydrogel of example 1 is subjected to controlled foaming, the inner macropores are in gradient distribution, which not only solves the problem that the polyaniline blocks the pore channels, but also increases the sensitivity due to the fact that the number of polyaniline attached to the pore walls is large because of the special structure of the gradient macropores, and the deformation of the macropores is different among different gradients during stretching, which is a synergistic effect. Compared with the embodiment 1, the conductive composite hydrogel obtained in the comparative example 4 is not added with a foaming agent, so that the internal pore diameter is small, aniline is difficult to permeate into hydrogel during in-situ polymerization of the adsorbed aniline, and the phenomenon that polyaniline blocks hydrogel pore channels is easy to occur, so that the utilization rate of polyaniline is low, the polyaniline is not uniformly dispersed, and finally the resistance change is small, so that the resistance change rate is only 768% under 400% strain and is 3.7 times smaller than that of the embodiment 1. The conductive composite hydrogel prepared in the comparative example 5 has a resistance change rate of 1363% under 400% strain, which is 2.1 times smaller than that of the conductive composite hydrogel in the example 1, and it can be seen that the problem of pore blocking during in-situ polymerization of aniline is improved through uniform pore-forming treatment, so that the sensitivity of the hydrogel is improved, but the hydrogel has a smaller sensitivity than that of the conductive composite hydrogel in the example 1 because a gradient macroporous structure is not formed inside the hydrogel. Thus, the gradient macroporous structure obtained through foaming can remarkably enhance the sensitivity of the hydrogel sensor.
Fig. 5 is a resistance change rate curve of the gradient macroporous conductive composite hydrogel prepared in example 1 under different tensile strains when intermittently loaded and unloaded. As can be seen from the figure, the electrical signal of the gradient macroporous conductive composite hydrogel is kept stable in the intermittence, and the electrical signal is restored to the initial state in the unloading process, which shows that the strain response of the sensing material has strong stability and reversibility.
FIG. 6 is a graph of the rate of change of resistance of the conductive composite hydrogel flexible strain sensing material prepared in example 1 after 500 stretching cycles at a stretching speed of 200mm/min and 50% tensile strain. As can be seen from the figure, the gradient macroporous conductive composite hydrogel can keep the stability and repeatability of an electric signal in 500 continuous stretching cycles, and the cycle stability is good.
In addition, the gradient macroporous conductive composite hydrogel prepared in the embodiment 1 can accurately respond to human motion signals, such as large deformation caused by bending of finger wrists and small deformation caused by breathing and swallowing.
The gradient macroporous conductive composite hydrogel has the advantages of strong mechanical property, high sensitivity and good cycling stability, and is suitable for flexible strain sensors.

(3) Placing the prepared RGPH in 80ml 0.05mol/L aniline hydrochloride solution containing 1.0mmol phytic acid, sealing and storing for 12h, and then placing in an environment of 0-5 ℃ for cooling; and adding 0.912g of ammonium persulfate into 5ml of deionized water, mixing, cooling to below 5 ℃, quickly pouring into the solution, uniformly mixing, reacting for 24 hours, and cleaning the product with deionized water to obtain the gradient macroporous conductive composite hydrogel.
