Source abstract
Abstract
In order to obtain a flexible strain sensor with higher sensitivity, a resistive flexible strain sensor based on the AgNWs-graphene-PDMS sensitive layer is prepared in this paper. This paper presents the preparation of a flexible sensitive layer, the preparation and encapsulation of the flexible strain sensor, and the performance tests of the sensor prepared with AgNWs-graphene (AgNWs-Gr) mixtures at different concentrations. The test results indicate that the prepared sensor has a wide detection range with a maximum stretchable length of 118%. The flexible strain sensor prepared with the AgNWs-Gr mixture at a concentration of 5% has the highest sensitivity and the maximum strain sensitivity of up to 236. It also has good repeatability, stability, and rapid response, and it has been tested for practical applications. The results show that the flexible strain sensor has a broad application prospect in fields such as wearable devices and intelligent robots.
