A wearable and sensitive graphene-cotton based pressure sensor for human physiological signals monitoring.

ABSTRACT: Cotton fiber is the most commonly used fabric in textiles and clothing. As compared to inorganic materials like foam, sponge and paper, cotton fibers boast higher levels of flexibility and toughness, which makes it more durable and be better integrated with clothes. In this study, a conductive cotton fiber material modified by reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was prepared, and applied in pressure sensor. The highest sensitivity of the pressure sensor constructed is 0.21 kPa^-1, and the pressure range covers up to 500 kPa, which demonstrates a combination of fine sensitivity and broader pressure range. The pressure sensor developed in this study demonstrates great performance in real-time monitoring of human physiological signals like pulse, breath rate and speech recognition, boasting great application value in wearable electronics and smart clothing.

Highly Sensitive Piezoresistive Pressure Sensor Based on Super-Elastic 3D Buckling Carbon Nanofibers for Human Physiological Signals' Monitoring.

Project description:The three-dimensional (3D) carbon nanostructures/foams are commonly used as active materials for the high-performance flexible piezoresistive sensors due to their superior properties. However, the intrinsic brittleness and poor sensing properties of monolithic carbon material still limits its application. Rational design of the microstructure is an attractive approach to achieve piezoresistive material with superior mechanical and sensing properties, simultaneously. Herein, we introduce novel three-dimensional buckling carbon nanofibers (3D BCNFs) that feature a unique serpentine-buckling microstructure. The obtained 3D BCNFs exhibit superior mechanical properties, including super-elasticity (recovery speed up to 950 mm s-1), excellent flexibility (multiple folds), high compressibility (compressed by 90%), and high fatigue resistance (10,000 bending cycles). The pressure sensor fabricated by the 3D BCNFs shows a high sensitivity of 714.4 kPa-1, a fast response time of 23 ms, and a broad measuring range of 120 kPa. The pressure sensor is further applied to monitor the physiological signals of humans, and is capable of detecting the characteristic pulse waves from the radial artery, fingertip artery, and human-breath, respectively.

Ultra-sensitive graphene sensor for measuring high vacuum pressure.

Project description:We demonstrate here that several different graphene nanoribbon (GNR) samples can be separated from the GNR mixture synthesized by conventional methods. The sheet resistance of the purified GNR gradually decreased with decreasing pressure at 30?°C, whereas it increased at 100?°C. A hypothesis based on van der Waals attractive interactions between GNR sheets was introduced to explain this finding. This hypothesis verified by the shifted main peaks in vacuum X-ray diffraction spectra: 0.022?nm and 0.041?nm shifts were observed for reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and GNR, respectively. Theoretical calculations indicated that, for RGO, the shifted distance was similar to the calculated distance. The response of the GNR sensor to pressure changes occurred rapidly (in seconds). The normalized response time of each sample indicated that sensor using GNR reduced the tailing of the response time by shortening the diffusion path of gas molecules. The sensitivity of the GNR sensor was three times that of RGO in the given pressure range. Moreover, the sensitivity of GNR was much larger than those of the most popularly studied pressure sensors using Piezoresistivity, and the sensor could detect vacuum pressures of 8?×?10-7?Torr.

A wearable electronic based on flexible pressure sensor for running motion monitoring.

Project description:The flexible pressure sensor is expected to be applied in the new generation of sports wearable electronic devices. Developing flexible pressure sensors with a wide linear range and great sensitivity, however, remains a significant barrier. In this work, we propose a hybrid conductive elastomeric film oxide-based material with a concave-shape micro-patterned array (P-HCF) on the surface that sustainably shows the necessary sensing qualities. To enhance sensing range and sensitivity, one-dimensional carbon fibers and two-dimensional MXene are incorporated into the polydimethylsiloxane matrix to form a three-dimensional conductive network. Micro-patterns with a curved shape in P-HCFs can be able to linear sensitivity across the sensing range by controlling the pressure distribution inside the material. Besides, the sensitivity of P-HCF pressure sensor can reach 31.92 kPa-1, and meanwhile, the linear band of P-HCF pressure sensor can arrive at 24 Pa-720 kPa, which makes it a good choice for sports monitoring. The designed pressure sensor can be used to monitor the foot pressure during running. By analyzing the gait information during running, it can provide data support and strategy improvement for running. This new dual working mode pressure P-HCF sensor will provide a new way for the development of intelligent sports.

Large-Scale, Cuttable, Full Tissue-Based Capacitive Pressure Sensor for the Detection of Human Physiological Signals and Pressure Distribution.

Project description:The increasing demand for flexible and wearable electronics has promoted the rapid development of the pressure sensors capable of monitoring diverse human movements and physiological signals. However, more and more research requires the pressure sensor to possess high sensing performance and desires the fabrication to exhibit the characteristics of low cost, large-scale production, high reproduction, even disposability. Here, we propose a full tissue-based capacitive pressure sensor with a sandwiched structure consisting of two MXene-coated tissue electrodes and a blank tissue dielectric layer. The tight contact and adequate adsorption of the MXene sheets with the cellulose fibers endow the electrode with uniform conductivity and high stability over a large area. In addition, the flexible sensor could be conveniently cut into any shape and size to meet the diverse application requirements. Thereby, the pressure sensor exhibits a sensitivity of 0.051 kPa-1 (<7 kPa), a wide detection range of 0.02-160 kPa, a fast response (∼100 ms), and good repeatability. The flexible device has been demonstrated to monitor a variety of human activities and physical stimuli. The assembled sensor array can accurately and reliably detect the pressure distribution.

Low-Cost and Highly Sensitive Wearable Sensor Based on Napkin for Health Monitoring.

Project description:The development of sensors with high sensitivity, good flexibility, low cost, and capability of detecting multiple inputs is of great significance for wearable electronics. Herein, we report a napkin-based wearable capacitive sensor fabricated by a novel, low-cost, and facile strategy. The capacitive sensor is composed of two pieces of electrode plates manufactured by spontaneous assembly of silver nanowires (NWs) on a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-patterned napkin. The sensor possesses high sensitivity (>7.492 kPa-1), low cost, and capability for simultaneous detection of multiple signals. We demonstrate that the capacitive sensor can be applied to identify a variety of human physiological signals, including finger motions, eye blinking, and minute wrist pulse. More interestingly, the capacitive sensor comfortably attached to the temple can simultaneously monitor eye blinking and blood pulse. The demonstrated sensor shows great prospects in the applications of human-machine interface, prosthetics, home-based healthcare, and flexible touch panels.

Wearable piezoelectric mass sensor based on pH sensitive hydrogels for sweat pH monitoring.

Project description:Colorimetric and electrochemical (bio)sensors are commonly employed in wearable platforms for sweat monitoring; nevertheless, they suffer from low stability of the sensitive element. In contrast, mass-(bio)sensors are commonly used for analyte detection at laboratory level only, due to their rigidity. To overcome these limitations, a flexible mass-(bio)sensor for sweat pH sensing is proposed. The device exploits the flexibility of piezoelectric AlN membranes fabricated on a polyimide substrate combined to the sensitive properties of a pH responsive hydrogel based on PEG-DA/CEA molecules. A resonant frequency shift is recorded due to the hydrogel swelling/shrinking at several pH. Our device shows a responsivity of about 12 kHz/pH unit when measured in artificial sweat formulation in the pH range 3-8. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that hydrogel mass variations are sensed by a flexible resonator, fostering the development of a new class of compliant and wearable devices.

Highly sensitive, self-powered and wearable electronic skin based on pressure-sensitive nanofiber woven fabric sensor.

Project description:The wearable electronic skin with high sensitivity and self-power has shown increasing prospects for applications such as human health monitoring, robotic skin, and intelligent electronic products. In this work, we introduced and demonstrated a design of highly sensitive, self-powered, and wearable electronic skin based on a pressure-sensitive nanofiber woven fabric sensor fabricated by weaving PVDF electrospun yarns of nanofibers coated with PEDOT. Particularly, the nanofiber woven fabric sensor with multi-leveled hierarchical structure, which significantly induced the change in contact area under ultra-low load, showed combined superiority of high sensitivity (18.376 kPa-1, at ~100 Pa), wide pressure range (0.002-10 kPa), fast response time (15 ms) and better durability (7500 cycles). More importantly, an open-circuit voltage signal of the PPNWF pressure sensor was obtained through applying periodic pressure of 10 kPa, and the output open-circuit voltage exhibited a distinct switching behavior to the applied pressure, indicating the wearable nanofiber woven fabric sensor could be self-powered under an applied pressure. Furthermore, we demonstrated the potential application of this wearable nanofiber woven fabric sensor in electronic skin for health monitoring, human motion detection, and muscle tremor detection.

Reduced graphene oxide-based highly sensitive pressure sensor for wearable electronics <i>via</i> an ordered structure and enhanced interlayer interaction mechanism.

Project description:Compressible carbon materials have promising applications in various wearable devices. However, it is still difficult to prepare a carbon material with superior mechanical properties, stable strain-electrical signal response, and high linear sensitivity. In this study, a compressible and conductive carbon aerogel with excellent properties is obtained by designing an ordered wavy layered structure with enhanced interactions between carbon layers. Bidirectional freezing is used to produce a wavy layered structure. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and lignin play important roles in enhancing the interactions between reduced graphene oxide (rGO) layers. Due to the design of the carbon aerogel structure and interlayer interactions, the prepared carbon aerogel exhibits supercompressibility (up to 99% ultimate strain), excellent elasticity and fatigue resistance (91.3% height retention after 10 000 cycles at a strain of 30%), and stable strain-current response. Moreover, the carbon aerogel demonstrated an ultrahigh sensitivity of 190.94 kPa-1, a wide linear range (within strain of 0-80%), and a low detection limit for pressure (0.875 Pa). These advantages suggest that this carbon aerogel has great application potential in wearable devices.

Highly sensitive and wearable gas sensors consisting of chemically functionalized graphene oxide assembled on cotton yarn.

Project description:Highly sensitive and wearable chemical sensors for the detection of toxic gas molecules are given significant attention for a variety of applications in human health care and environmental safety. Herein, we demonstrated fiber-type gas sensors based on graphene oxide functionalized with organic molecules such as heptafluorobutylamine (HFBA), 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazine (MPP), and 4-(2-keto-1-benzimidazolinyl)piperidine (KBIP) by assembling functionalized graphene oxide (FGO) on a single yarn fabric. These gas sensors of FGO on yarn exhibited extraordinarily higher sensitivity upon exposure to gas molecules than chemically reduced graphene oxide due to many active functional groups on the GO surface. Furthermore, the mechanical stability and chemical durability of the resulting gas sensors are well-maintained. Based on these results, we expected that our sensors with high sensitive and wearability will provide a good premise for wearable chemical sensors-based multidisciplinary applications.
