Abstract

With the development of science and technology, flexible sensors play an indispensable role in body monitoring. Rapid prototyping of high-performance flexible sensors has become an important method to develop flexible sensors. The purpose of this study was to develop a flexible resin with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) for the rapid fabrication of flexible sensors using digital light processing additive manufacturing. In this study, MWCNTs were mixed in thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) photosensitive resin to prepare polymer-matrix composites, and a flexible strain sensor was prepared using self-developed additive equipment. The results showed that the 1.2 wt% MWCNTs/TPU composite flexible sensor had high gauge factor of 9.988 with a linearity up to 45% strain and high mechanical durability (1000 cycles). Furthermore, the sensor could be used for gesture recognition and monitoring and has good performance. This method is expected to provide a new idea for the rapid personalized forming of flexible sensors.

应变传感用可拉伸多壁碳纳米管/热塑性聚氨酯导电聚合物的增材制造

随着科学技术的发展，柔性传感器在人体监测中发挥着不可或缺的作用。高性能柔性传感器的快速原型已成为开发柔性传感器的重要方法。本研究的目的是开发一种含有多壁碳纳米管（MWCNTs）的柔性树脂，利用数字光处理增材制造技术快速制造柔性传感器。本研究在热塑性聚氨酯（TPU）光敏树脂中混合了多壁碳纳米管，制备了聚合物基复合材料，并使用自主开发的增材制造设备制备了柔性应变传感器。结果表明，1.2 wt% MWCNTs/TPU 复合柔性传感器的测量系数高达 9.988，应变线性度高达 45%，机械耐久性高（1000 次循环）。此外，该传感器还可用于手势识别和监测，并具有良好的性能。该方法有望为柔性传感器的快速个性化成型提供新思路。
