Abstract
In this work, a high elasticity and wearable pressure sensor based on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) sponge was prepared by sugar template technology. The conductive fillers AgNWs and Ti3C2Tx MXene were attached to the inner wall of the PDMS sponge by ultrasonic soaking and drying processes. AgNWs/MXene/PDMS flexible pressure sensors were prepared by assembling the PDMS sponge with electrodes. AgNWs/MXene/PDMS pressure sensors can be stably cycled in the 10–50% strain interval. Good mechanical and sensor performance was maintained over 1000 cycles of testing at a pressure of 30 kPa. The sensors can be stable and effectively used for array testing and human motion monitoring, which shows great promise for applications in fields such as flexible electronics and wearable devices.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Electronics is an established refereed companion to the Journal of Materials Science. It publishes papers on materials and their applications in modern electronics, covering the ground between fundamental science, such as semiconductor physics, and work concerned specifically with applications. It explores the growth and preparation of new materials, as well as their processing, fabrication, bonding and encapsulation, together with the reliability, failure analysis, quality assurance and characterization related to the whole range of applications in electronics. The Journal presents papers in newly developing fields such as low dimensional structures and devices, optoelectronics including III-V compounds, glasses and linear/non-linear crystal materials and lasers, high Tc superconductors, conducting polymers, thick film materials and new contact technologies, as well as the established electronics device and circuit materials.
