This paper presents the development of polymer-nanofiller systems as strain sensor materials and the development of novel sensor fabrication and characterization techniques. The developed sensor has shown to overcome the limitations of conventional strain sensors — having the capability to measure macroscale strains in any desired direction over a finite surface area, which may be subjected to combined loading modes, including tension, compression, flexure, and shear. They have sufficient flexibility and toughness to accommodate most curved surfaces and corners in components and structures. The methodologies use high aspect ratio multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) in order to take advantage of their capability to form efficient conductive network. The results will lead to tailoring of sensor performance, particularly sensitivity factor, by controlling conductive network and optimizing sensor design and fabrication. To date, sensitivity factor of almost 20 at 1 wt.% of MWNTs in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) has been achieved. The developed sensor can be used in various military and commercial applications, including macroscale strain sensing over a wide surface area (e.g. aircraft skin), high sensitivity strain sensing on stiff components, and crack detection at critical stress concentrated regions for health monitoring.

Sensing Range

Flexible wearable strain sensors with excellent sensing performance have received widespread interest due to their superior application capability in the field of human-computer interaction, sports rehabilitation, and disease diagnosis. But at present, it is still a considerable challenge to exploit a flexible strain sensor with high sensitivity and wide sensing range that is easily manufactured, low-cost, and easily integrable into clothing. MXene is a promising material sensitive enough for flexible sensors due to its superior conductivity and hydrophilicity. The warp knitting weft insertion textile structure gives the fabric excellent elasticity, making it suitable as a flexible, stretchable substrate. Therefore, utilizing a polyester elastic fabric with a warp knitting weft insertion structure, a fabric strain sensor with high sensitivity and wide sensing range prepared by layer-by-layer self-assembly of polyvinyl alcohol layers and MXene layers is reported in this study. The strain sensor exhibits high sensitivity (up to 288.43), a wide sensing range (up to 50%), fast response time (50 ms), ultra-low detection limit (a strain of 0.067%), excellent cycle stability (1000 cycles), and good washability. Besides, affixing the MXene/polyvinyl alcohol/polyester elastic fabric strain sensor on the joints can detect the movement of limbs. Therefore, the MXene/polyvinyl alcohol/polyester elastic fabric strain sensor demonstrates potential application opportunities in smart wearable electronic devices, and the researcher can also apply this method in the production of other flexible, intelligent wearable devices.
