具有线性PTC效应的高灵敏柔性热塑性聚氨酯/石墨烯复合材料温度传感器

Highly sensitive flexible thermoplastic polyurethane/graphene composite temperature sensor with linear PTC effect

  • 摘要: 导电聚合物复合材料(CPC)对温度通常具有非单调依赖性。因此,制备具有线性温度系数的CPC柔性温度传感器仍是一个挑战。采用溶液共混结合微电子打印技术,成功制备了热塑性聚氨酯/石墨烯(TPU/GNs)感温复合材料温度传感器。该传感器具有高灵敏度(TCR=2.20%/℃)、快速时间响应(5 s)、在25-55℃的温度传感范围内线性度高(R2=0.99)等特点,同时具有良好的柔性、抗弯曲性能(弯曲500次后性能几乎不变)和抗汗水干扰性(浸泡30 min电阻保持稳定)。此外,设计了温度读出电路,期待其通过蓝牙和Wifi无线传输体温数据,能够实现实时体温监测,并在手机上显示提供给用户、医护人员等。因此,TPU/GNs柔性温度传感器具有高灵敏度、舒适性、实时性和耐用性,将显著提高可穿戴温度传感器在智能医疗中的实际应用。

     

    Abstract: Conductive polymer composites (CPCs) usually have a non-monotonic dependence on temperature. Therefore, the preparation of CPC flexible temperature sensors with linear temperature coefficient remains a challenge. A thermoplastic polyurethane/graphene (TPU/GNs) temperature sensing composite temperature sensor was successfully prepared using solution blending combined with microelectronic printing technology. The sensor is characterized by high sensitivity (TCR=2.20%/℃), fast time response (5 s), high linearity (R2=0.99) over the temperature sensing range of 25-55℃, and good flexibility, bending resistance (the performance is almost unchanged after 500 times of bending), and resistance to perspiration interference (the resistance remains stable after 30 min of immersion). In addition, a temperature readout circuit is designed in anticipation of its wireless transmission of temperature data via Bluetooth and Wifi, which enables real-time temperature monitoring and display on the cell phone to be provided to the user, healthcare professionals, etc. Thus, the TPU/GNs flexible temperature sensor with high sensitivity, comfort, real-time performance and durability will significantly improve the practical application of wearable temperature sensors in smart healthcare.
