Novel resonant pressure sensor based on piezoresistive detection and symmetrical in-plane mode vibration.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, a novel resonant pressure sensor is developed based on electrostatic excitation and piezoresistive detection. The measured pressure applied to the diaphragm will cause the resonant frequency shift of the resonator. The working mode stress-frequency theory of a double-ended tuning fork with an enhanced coupling beam is proposed, which is compatible with the simulation and experiment. A unique piezoresistive detection method based on small axially deformed beams with a resonant status is proposed, and other adjacent mode outputs are easily shielded. According to the structure design, high-vacuum wafer-level packaging with different doping in the anodic bonding interface is fabricated to ensure the high quality of the resonator. The pressure sensor chip is fabricated by dry/wet etching, high-temperature silicon bonding, ion implantation, and wafer-level anodic bonding. The results show that the fabricated sensor has a measuring sensitivity of ~19 Hz/kPa and a nonlinearity of 0.02% full scale in the pressure range of 0-200 kPa at a full temperature range of -40 to 80 °C. The sensor also shows a good quality factor >25,000, which demonstrates the good vacuum performance. Thus, the feasibility of the design is a commendable solution for high-accuracy pressure measurements.

Piezoresistive effects in controllable defective HFTCVD graphene-based flexible pressure sensor.

Project description:In this work, the piezoresistive effects of defective graphene used on a flexible pressure sensor are demonstrated. The graphene used was deposited at substrate temperatures of 750, 850 and 1000 °C using the hot-filament thermal chemical vapor deposition method in which the resultant graphene had different defect densities. Incorporation of the graphene as the sensing materials in sensor device showed that a linear variation in the resistance change with the applied gas pressure was obtained in the range of 0 to 50 kPa. The deposition temperature of the graphene deposited on copper foil using this technique was shown to be capable of tuning the sensitivity of the flexible graphene-based pressure sensor. We found that the sensor performance is strongly dominated by the defect density in the graphene, where graphene with the highest defect density deposited at 750 °C exhibited an almost four-fold sensitivity as compared to that deposited at 1000 °C. This effect is believed to have been contributed by the scattering of charge carriers in the graphene networks through various forms such as from the defects in the graphene lattice itself, tunneling between graphene islands, and tunneling between defect-like structures.

High-Performance Pressure Sensor for Monitoring Mechanical Vibration and Air Pressure.

Project description:To realize the practical applications of flexible pressure sensors, the high performance (sensitivity and response time) as well as more functionalities are highly desired. In this work, we fabricated a piezoresistive pressure sensor based on the micro-structured composites films of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and poly (dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS). In addition, we establish efficient strategies to improve key performance of our pressure sensor. Its sensitivity is improved up to 474.13 kPa-1 by minimizing pressure independent resistance of sensor, and response time is shorten as small as 2 μs by enhancing the elastic modulus of polymer elastomer. Benefiting from the high performance, the functionalities of sensors are successfully extended to the accurate detection of high frequency mechanical vibration (~300 Hz) and large range of air pressure (6⁻101 kPa), both of which are not achieved before.

A Soft Wearable and Fully-Textile Piezoresistive Sensor for Plantar Pressure Capturing.

Project description:The trends of wearable health monitoring systems have led to growing demands for gait-capturing devices. However, comfortability and durability under repeated stress are still challenging to achieve in existing sensor-enabled footwear. Herein, a flexible textile piezoresistive sensor (TPRS) consisting of a reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-cotton) fabric electrode and an Ag fabric circuit electrode is proposed. Based on the mechanical and electrical properties of the two fabric electrodes, the TPRS exhibits superior sensing performance, with a high sensitivity of 3.96 kPa-1 in the lower pressure range of 0-36 kPa, wide force range (0-100 kPa), fast response time (170 ms), remarkable durability stability (1000 cycles) and detection ability in different pressures ranges. For the prac-tical application of capturing plantar pressure, six TPRSs were mounted on a flexible printed circuit board and integrated into an insole. The dynamic plantar pressure distribution during walking was derived in the form of pressure maps. The proposed fully-textile piezoresistive sensor is a strong candidate for next-generation plantar pressure wearable monitoring devices.

Real-Time Intraoperative Pressure Monitoring to Avoid Surgically Induced Localized Brain Injury Using a Miniaturized Piezoresistive Pressure Sensor.

Project description:Neurosurgical procedures often cause damage to the brain tissue at the periphery from surgical manipulations. Especially during retraction, a large amount of pressure could be applied on the brain surface, which can damage it, leading to brain herniation, which can be fatal for patients. To resolve this issue, we have developed a pressure sensor that can be used to monitor the applied pressure during surgery for intraoperative care. This device was tested on a rodent model to create a superficial surgically induced damage profile for three different applied pressures (30, 50, and 70 mmHg) and compared to a standard intracranial pressure monitoring system. Magnetic resonance imaging has been performed after surgical procedures to detect the herniation caused by applied pressure. To evaluate the damage to brain cells and tissue rupture, histological analysis was performed using hematoxylin and eosin staining. A scoring system was developed to understand the severity of the surgically induced brain injury, which will help neurosurgeons to limit the pressure to an optimum point without causing damage.

Engineered Microstructure Derived Hierarchical Deformation of Flexible Pressure Sensor Induces a Supersensitive Piezoresistive Property in Broad Pressure Range.

Project description:Fabricating flexible pressure sensors with high sensitivity in a broad pressure range is still a challenge. Herein, a flexible pressure sensor with engineered microstructures on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film is designed. The high performance of the sensor derives from its unique pyramid-wall-grid microstructure (PWGM). A square array of dome-topped pyramids and crossed strengthening walls on the film forms a multiheight hierarchical microstructure. Two pieces of PWGM flexible PDMS film, stacked face-to-face, form a piezoresistive sensor endowed with ultrahigh sensitivity across a very broad pressure range. The sensitivity of the device is as high as 383 665.9 and 269 662.9 kPa-1 in the pressure ranges 0-1.6 and 1.6-6 kPa, respectively. In the higher pressure range of 6.1-11 kPa, the sensitivity is 48 689.1 kPa-1, and even in the very high pressure range of 11-56 kPa, it stays at 1266.8 kPa-1. The pressure sensor possesses excellent bending and torsional strain detection properties, is mechanically durable, and has potential applications in wearable biosensing for healthcare. In addition, 2 × 2 and 4 × 4 sensor arrays are prepared and characterized, suggesting the possibility of manufacturing a flexible tactile sensor.

Ultrasensitive detection of cadmium ions using a microcantilever-based piezoresistive sensor for groundwater.

Project description:This paper proposes the selective and ultrasensitive detection of Cd(II) ions using a cysteamine-functionalized microcantilever-based sensor with cross-linked ??-glyceraldehyde (DL-GC). The detection time for various laboratory-based techniques is generally 12-24 hours. The experiments were performed to create self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of cysteamine cross-linked with ??-glyceraldehyde on the microcantilever surface to selectively capture the targeted Cd(II). The proposed portable microfluidic platform is able to achieve the detection in 20-23 min with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.56 ng (2.78 pM), which perfectly describes its excellent performance over other reported techniques. Many researchers used nanoparticle-based sensors for the detection of heavy metal ions, but daily increasing usage and commercialization of nanoparticles are rapidly expanding their deleterious effect on human health and the environment. The proposed technique uses a blend of thin-film and microcantilever (micro-electromechanical systems) technology, which mitigate the disadvantages of the nanoparticle approaches, for the selective detection of Cd(II) with a LOD below the WHO limit of 3 ?g/L.

Piezoresistive Sensor Based on Micrographite-Glass Thick Films †

Project description:A new Pb-free glass containing several oxides (Bi2O3, B2O3, SiO2, Al2O3 and ZnO) with sintering temperature reduced down to 600 °C has been developed for applications in a piezoresistive pressure sensor. Using this low sintering temperature glass, it was possible to fabricate micrographite-based pastes and piezoresistive films without losses of graphitic material during the sintering. Good adherence of the films onto alumina substrates was observed and attributed in part to the reactions of ZnO and Bi2O3 with alumina substrates. Piezoresistive films with uniformly distributed micrographite particles were produced using sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC) in aqueous solutions during the preparation of pastes. NaCMC plays a decisive role in interactions between micrographite particles and glassy matrix, providing good wettability of glass powder particles and homogeneous distribution of MG particles in the pastes. Finally, excellent repeatability of the sensor response to the applied deformations was verified in cycling experiments when the sample was submitted to 1000 load/release cycles. These results demonstrated very high stability of the sensor response (within ±1%), and also evidenced high stability of the film under the cyclic strain loads and good film adherence to the substrate.

Supramolecular Self-Healing Sensor Fiber Composites for Damage Detection in Piezoresistive Electronic Skin for Soft Robots.

Project description:Self-healing materials can prolong the lifetime of structures and products by enabling the repairing of damage. However, detecting the damage and the progress of the healing process remains an important issue. In this study, self-healing, piezoresistive strain sensor fibers (ShSFs) are used for detecting strain deformation and damage in a self-healing elastomeric matrix. The ShSFs were embedded in the self-healing matrix for the development of self-healing sensor fiber composites (ShSFC) with elongation at break values of up to 100%. A quadruple hydrogen-bonded supramolecular elastomer was used as a matrix material. The ShSFCs exhibited a reproducible and monotonic response. The ShSFCs were investigated for use as sensorized electronic skin on 3D-printed soft robotic modules, such as bending actuators. Depending on the bending actuator module, the electronic skin was loaded under either compression (pneumatic-based module) or tension (tendon-based module). In both configurations, the ShSFs could be successfully used as deformation sensors, and in addition, detect the presence of damage based on the sensor signal drift. The sensor under tension showed better recovery of the signal after healing, and smaller signal relaxation. Even with the complete severing of the fiber, the piezoresistive properties returned after the healing, but in that case, thermal heat treatment was required. With their resilient response and self-healing properties, the supramolecular fiber composites can be used for the next generation of soft robotic modules.

Multicenter clinical evaluation of a piezoresistive-MEMS-sensor rapid-exchange pressure microcatheter system for fractional flow reserve measurement.

Project description:ObjectivesThis multicenter, prospective clinical study investigates whether the microelectromechanical-systems-(MEMS)-sensor pressure microcatheter (MEMS-PMC) is comparable to a conventional pressure wire in fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement.BackgroundAs a conventional tool for FFR measurement, pressure wires (PWs) still have some limitations such as suboptimal handling characteristics and unable to maintain the wire position during pullback assessment. Recently, a MEMS-PMC compatible with any 0.014″ guidewire is developed. Compared with the existing optical-sensor PMC, this MEMS-PMC has smaller profiles at both the lesion crossing and sensor packaging areas.MethodsTwo hundred and forty-two patients with visually 30-70% coronary stenosis were enrolled at four centers. FFR was measured first with the MEMS-PMC, and then with the PW. The primary endpoint was the Bland-Altman mean bias between the MEMS-PMC and PW FFR.ResultsFrom the 224-patient per-protocol data, quantitative coronary angiography showed 17.9% and 55.9% vessels had diameter < 2.5 mm and stenosis >50%, respectively. The two systems' mean bias was -0.01 with [-0.08, 0.06] 95% limits-of-agreement. Using PW FFR≤0.80 as cutoff, the MEMS-PMC per-vessel diagnostic accuracy was 93.4% [95% confidence interval: 89.4-96.3%]. The MEMS-PMC's success rate was similar to that of PW (97.5 vs. 96.3%, p = .43) with no serious adverse event, and its clinically-significant (>0.03) drift rate was 43% less (9.5 vs. 16.7%, p = .014).ConclusionsOur study showed the MEMS-PMC is safe to use and has a minimal bias equal to the resolution of current FFR systems. Given the MEMS-PMC's high measurement accuracy and rapid-exchange nature, it may become an attractive new tool facilitating routine coronary physiology assessment.

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.
