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续对人们的生活构成挑战,是必须解决的重要健康问题。可穿戴湿度传感器可监测呼吸状态和体表湿度,湿度作为一种生理信号,在反映人体健康状况方面起着至关重要的作用。柔性湿度传感器作为一种可以感知外部湿度变化的设备,可以测量因湿度变化产生的物理变化,并将其转化为电信号或其他方便检测的信号。其对外部湿度的检测依靠敏感材料完成,比如高分子聚合物、金属氧化物等等。其中某些新型纳米材料被广泛应用于传感器制造中。目前制备方法简单且具有高灵敏度称为决定柔性湿度传感器能否被广泛应用的重要因素,因此开发具有高灵敏度、制备简单的柔性湿度传感器具有重要意义。
研究成果
鲁东大学陈雪叶团队在期刊《Journal of Materials Chemistry A 》,发表名为“Non-contact porous composite fiber paper-based humidity sensor forwearable breathing and skin humidity monitoring”的论文。研究者利用简单的制造工艺制备出具有快速响应功能的柔性纸基湿度传感器,利用CO2激光器制备出插指电极结构,并同时利用复合纸纤维等纳米复合材料制备了具有多孔纤维结构的柔性湿度传感器。该制备方法不受任何条件限制,具有广泛的适用性。
