Abstract

Flexible pressure sensors have potential applications in human motion detection and personal health monitoring. In this paper, foam flexible pressure sensors were prepared using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with NaCl as a sacrificial template by adding (hydroxypropyl cellulose) HPC dispersant and (dopamine) DA binder to the conductive solution. It has the sensitivity of 0.07454 kPa^-1, fast response, and high repeatability at low stress. The sensor was fixed on the skin of a volunteer and could detect large movements of the finger, wrist, and even different walking states, showing that our sensor has application potential in wearable electronics.
