Abstract

The dramatic changes the world and the expectations of potential users have pushed researchers working in flexible foam pressure sensor (FFPS) fabrication to develop more affordable and high-performance materials. Among various materials, polymer foamed-based nanocomposites are a preferred choice due to their excellent mechanical properties, good chemical properties, and easy control. Moreover, the use of nanofillers such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon black (CB), and graphene in the polymer matrix has greatly improved the properties of the sensors. Therefore, this review focuses on the recent advances in FFPS by using different types of nanofillers in shape and structure. Accordingly, developments in the fabrication of FFPS, including dip coating, spray coating, sputtering, and in situ polymerization are also discussed. Special attention has been paid to identifying the underlying mechanism to maximize pressure sensing and improve the performance of FFPS. Suggestions for future developments in the area of sensing devices applied in health monitoring are also presented.

柔性泡沫压力传感器的最新进展:制造、表征和应用综述

世界的巨大变化和潜在用户的期望推动了柔性泡沫压力传感器(FFPS)制造的研究人员开发更经济、高性能的材料。在众多的材料中，聚合物泡沫基纳米复合材料因其优异的力学性能、良好的化学性能和易于控制而成为人们的首选。此外，在聚合物基体中使用碳纳米管(CNTs)、炭黑(CB)和石墨烯等纳米填料大大提高了传感器的性能。因此，本文就不同类型的纳米填料在FFPS的形状和结构方面的研究进展作一综述。因此，本文还讨论了FFPS制备技术的发展，包括浸涂、喷涂、溅射和原位聚合。特别注意的是确定潜在的机制，以最大限度地提高压力传感和FFPS的性能。最后，对传感设备在健康监测中的应用前景提出了建议。

期刊介绍： Polymer Reviews is a reputable publication that focuses on timely issues within the field of macromolecular science and engineering. The journal features high-quality reviews that have been specifically curated by experts in the field. Topics of particular importance include biomedical applications, organic electronics and photonics, nanostructures, micro- and nano-fabrication, biological molecules (such as DNA, proteins, and carbohydrates), polymers for renewable energy and environmental applications, and interdisciplinary intersections involving polymers. The articles in Polymer Reviews fall into two main categories. Some articles offer comprehensive and expansive overviews of a particular subject, while others zero in on the author's own research and situate it within the broader scientific landscape. In both types of articles, the aim is to provide readers with valuable insights and advancements in the field of macromolecular science and engineering.
