Preparation and performance of CNT impregnating 3D Ethylene-Propylene Side By Side (ES)/PET nonwoven-based flexible pressure sensors

  • 摘要: 为克服柔性传感器在灵敏度较低、生产流程复杂以及透气性不足等方面的挑战,本研究通过针刺-热熔技术制备了一种三维聚乙烯-聚丙烯(Ethylene-Propylene Side By Side,ES)/聚酯(PET)纤维非织造材料。随后,利用碳纳米管(CNT)对该材料进行浸渍处理,成功开发了一种性能优异的CNT包覆三维ES/PET非织造基压力传感器,并对比分析了不同CNT浸渍时间和浸渍次数对传感器性能的影响。研究结果显示,该CNT包覆三维ES/PET非织造基柔性压力传感器具有高达0.375 kPa−1的灵敏度和0-214.53 kPa的检测范围。经过2100次压缩循环,传感器展现了优异的稳定性和可重复性,响应时间为48 ms,恢复时间为122 ms。在实际应用中,该传感器能够精确识别如呼吸、吞咽、手指弯曲等人体细微生理活动,在运动、医疗、虚拟现实等多个领域具有潜在的广泛应用。

     

    Abstract: To address the challenges associated with low sensitivity, complex production processes, and insufficient breathability of flexible sensors, this study developed a three-dimensional nonwoven material made of polyethylene-polypropylene (Ethylene-Propylene Side By Side, ES)/polyester (PET) fibers through needle punching and thermal bonding techniques. The material was then impregnated with carbon nanotubes (CNTs), leading to the successful development of a high-performance CNT impregnating three-dimensional thermally bonded nonwoven-based pressure sensor. The impact of different CNT impregnation processes on sensor performance was comparatively analyzed. The findings indicate that the three-dimensional ES/PET nonwoven-based flexible pressure sensor exhibits a high sensitivity of up to 0.375 kPa−1 and a detection range of 0-214.53 kPa. After 2100 compression cycles, the sensor demonstrate excellent stability and repeatability, with a response time of 48 ms and a recovery time of 122 ms. In practical applications, this sensor can accurately identify subtle physiological activities such as breathing, swallowing, and finger bending, showing potential for widespread use in sports, medical, and virtual reality fields.
