Description

Preparation method of cobweb-imitated cotton fabric-based flexible humidity sensor
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of a functional cotton fabric, in particular to a preparation method of a cobweb-imitated cotton fabric-based flexible humidity sensor.
Background
People need to know their health conditions, and small-sized and convenient wearable electronic products which can be used for health monitoring and disease monitoring are receiving more and more attention. Wearable microenvironment humidity monitoring products have been proven to be a new generation of clinical pathology detection technology, which monitors human sleep, rest and exercise. As a wearable intelligent electronic product, the fabric has the characteristics of softness, ventilation, flexibility, durability and the like besides the requirement on the sensing capability, and cotton fabric as one of common textiles can meet the requirement. To date, methods of constructing wearable humidity sensors based on cotton fabrics or cotton fibers have relied on coating techniques. Allison et al monitored the respiratory state of the human body at the mask microenvironment humidity by coating poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene): chloroform on cotton fabric. Maity et al coated polyurethane composites on carbon nanotubes on cotton fabric to enable detection of specific humidity ranges. Although these methods achieve flexible moisture sensors on cotton fabrics as substrates, significant challenges remain to be overcome. For example, textiles are woven from tight fibers that deform less when stimulated by moisture than loose fibers of film or paper base, resulting in lower sensitivity of cotton fabric-based sensors and longer response and recovery times of the textile. In addition, in order to endure abrasion and friction caused by body movement, the conductive material needs to be adhered to the surface of the cotton fabric by adding a cross-linking agent or using a coating agent, which may cause problems such as deterioration of wearability of the cotton fabric. The research designs a cotton fabric-based humidity sensor of a carbon nano tube humidity sensitive network formed by cellulose nodes by using a spider web structure as inspiration on the basis of a cotton fabric slightly-dissolving technology. Firstly, depositing a conductive carbon nano tube network layer on the surface of a cotton fabric, and then treating the cotton fabric by slightly dissolving a cellulose good solvent-cuprammonium solution, so that cellulose molecules on the surface of the fabric are dissolved, macromolecules in the fabric are not influenced, and the dissolved cellulose macromolecules can be adhered to the carbon nano tube network layer. And then, in the process of slow heat treatment (40-50 ℃), ammonia and water in the cuprammonium solution volatilize in a gas form, the surface layer volatilizes quickly, and the cuprammonium solution carries a small part of dissolved cellulose macromolecules to migrate to the carbon nanotube network layer. Because the boiling point of ammonia is lower than that of water, cellulose macromolecules migrated into the carbon nanotube network layer gradually approach each other and solidify to form cellulose solidification points in the carbon nanotube network structure, and each cellulose solidification point can be bonded with a plurality of carbon nanotubes to form nodes (similar to spider webs) communicated with the carbon nanotube network. When being stimulated by external humidity, the cellulose nodes can expand rapidly due to large specific surface area, connectivity among carbon nano tubes in the nodes is reduced, and resistance of the conductive cotton fabric is reduced, namely, the humidity stimulation is converted into an electric signal, and a spider immediately senses existence of a prey through vibration of the nodes. The prepared cotton fabric humidity sensor has the advantages of wide detection range, high sensitivity, short response time, good structural firmness and the like.

Preferably, in the step 4, the heating temperature is 40 ℃ to 50 ℃.
The method comprises the steps of firstly depositing a conductive carbon nanotube network layer on the surface of the cotton fabric, and then treating the cotton fabric by slightly dissolving with a copper ammonia solution, so that cellulose molecules on the surface of the fabric are dissolved, macromolecules in the fabric are not affected, and the dissolved cellulose macromolecules can be adhered to the carbon nanotube network layer. And then, in the process of slow heat treatment (at 40-50 ℃), ammonia and water in the copper ammonia solution volatilize in a gas form, the surface layer volatilizes quickly, and the copper ammonia solution carries a small part of dissolved cellulose macromolecules to migrate to the carbon nanotube network layer. Because the boiling point of ammonia is lower than that of water, cellulose macromolecules migrated into the carbon nanotube network layer gradually approach each other and solidify to form cellulose solidification points in the carbon nanotube network structure, and each cellulose solidification point can be bonded with a plurality of carbon nanotubes to form nodes (similar to spider webs) communicated with the carbon nanotube network. When the cellulose nodes are stimulated by external humidity, the cellulose nodes can expand rapidly due to large specific surface area, the connectivity among carbon nano tubes in the nodes is reduced, and the resistance of the conductive cotton fabric is reduced, namely, the humidity stimulation is converted into an electric signal, and the existence of a prey is immediately sensed by the vibration of the nodes of a spider.
