Abstract

Recent advancements in 3D printing technology have expanded its application to manufacturing pressure sensors. By harnessing the cost-effectiveness, streamlined processes, and design flexibility of 3D printing, sensor fabrication can be customized to meet specific performance needs. Thus far, 3D printing in pressure sensor development has been primarily limited to creating molds for transferring patterns onto flexible substrates, restricting both material selection and sensor performance. To fully unlock the potential of 3D printing in advanced pressure sensor fabrication, it is crucial to establish effective design rules focused on enhancing the figure of merit performance. This study introduces a universal design strategy aimed at maintaining high sensitivity across a wide pressure range—a challenging feat, as sensitivity significantly decreases at higher pressures. Our approach centers on engineering the deformability of 3D-printed structures, achieving a linear increase in contact area between sensor patterns and electrodes without reaching saturation. Sensors designed with high elongation and low stiffness exhibit consistent sensitivity of 162.5 kPa⁻¹ across a broad pressure range (0.05–300 kPa). Mechanistic investigations through finite element analysis confirm that engineered deformability is key to achieving this enhanced linear response, offering robust sensing capabilities for demanding applications such as deep-sea and space exploration.

三维打印辅助压力传感器制造的设计规则:实现宽压力范围线性度
三维打印技术的最新进展扩大了其在压力传感器制造方面的应用。利用三维打印技术的成本效益、简化流程和设计灵活性,可以定制传感器制造,以满足特定的性能需求。迄今为止,3D 打印在压力传感器开发中的应用主要局限于创建用于将图案转移到柔性基底上的模具,从而限制了材料选择和传感器性能。要充分释放 3D 打印在先进压力传感器制造中的潜力,关键是要建立有效的设计规则,重点提高性能指标。本研究介绍了一种通用设计策略,旨在在较宽的压力范围内保持高灵敏度--这是一项具有挑战性的成就,因为灵敏度在较高压力下会显著降低。我们的方法以三维打印结构的可变形性为中心,在不达到饱和的情况下实现传感器图案与电极之间接触面积的线性增加。采用高伸长率和低刚度设计的传感器在广泛的压力范围(0.05-300 kPa)内表现出一致的灵敏度(162.5 kPa-¹)。通过有限元分析进行的机理研究证实,工程变形能力是实现这种增强型线性响应的关键,为深海和太空探索等要求苛刻的应用提供了强大的传感能力。

期刊介绍: ACS Macro Letters publishes research in all areas of contemporary soft matter science in which macromolecules play a key role, including nanotechnology, self-assembly, supramolecular chemistry, biomaterials, energy generation and storage, and renewable/sustainable materials. Submissions to ACS Macro Letters should justify clearly the rapid disclosure of the key elements of the study. The scope of the journal includes high-impact research of broad interest in all areas of polymer science and engineering, including cross-disciplinary research that interfaces with polymer science. With the launch of ACS Macro Letters, all Communications that were formerly published in Macromolecules and Biomacromolecules will be published as Letters in ACS Macro Letters.
