description | Flexible conductive sensor materials have received great attention for their sensitive electrical response to external conditions and their promising applications in flexible wearable and robotic applications. In this work, a highly stretchable force sensitive and temperature sensitive sensor material with a sandwich structure was prepared from the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and the liquid metal (LM) gallium–indium–tin alloy (GaInSn). The sandwich structure (PDMS + PDMS/GaInSn + PDMS) was proven to prevent the “leakage” of LM. The preparation method of the sensing material was simple and time-saving (less than 1.5 h) and can be used for industrial production. The electrical performance analysis results confirmed that the resistance (R) of the material was sensitive to the external force, such as repeated stretching, compressing, bending, and impacting. The ΔR/R changed periodically and stably with the repeated stretching, when the GaInSn/Part A ≥ 0.4, the cyclic tensile strain ≤ 50%, and the cyclic tensile rate ≤ 2.5 mm/min. The R of the sensor materials was also responsive to the temperature, such as hot air and liquid nitrogen. In conclusion, this work provides a method for preparing sensing materials with the sandwich structure, which was confirmed to be sensitive to force and temperature without leaking LM, and it produced different types of R signals under different deformations and different temperatures. |
