研究背景
呼吸疾病如COVID - 19、甲型流感、病毒性流感和哮喘等持續對人們的生活構成挑戰,是必須解決的重要健康問題。可穿戴濕度傳感器可監測呼吸狀態和體表濕度,濕度作為一種生理信號,在反映人體健康狀況方面起著至關重要的作用。柔性濕度傳感器作為一種可以感知外部濕度變化的設備,可以測量因濕度變化產生的物理變化,并將其轉化為電信號或其他方便檢測的信號。其對外部濕度的檢測依靠敏感材料完成,比如高分子聚合物、金屬氧化物等等。其中某些新型納米材料被廣泛應用于傳感器制造中。目前制備方法簡單且具有高靈敏度稱為決定柔性濕度傳感器能否被廣泛應用的重要因素,因此開發具有高靈敏度、制備簡單的柔性濕度傳感器具有重要意義。
研究成果
魯東大學陳雪葉團隊在期刊《Journal of Materials Chemistry A 》,發表名為“Non-contact porous composite fiber paper-based humidity sensor forwearable breathing and skin humidity monitoring”的論文。研究者利用簡單的制造工藝制備出具有快速響應功能的柔性紙基濕度傳感器,利用CO2激光器制備出插指電極結構,并同時利用復合紙纖維等納米復合材料制備了具有多孔纖維結構的柔性濕度傳感器。該制備方法不受任何條件限制,具有廣泛的適用性。
