Flexible Tactile Sensors with Gradient Conformal Dome Structures

Abstract

The trade-off between high sensitivity and wide detection range remains a challenge for flexible capacitive pressure sensors. Gradient structure can provide continuous deformation and lead to a wide sensing range. However, it simultaneously augments the distance between two electrodes, which diminishes the variation in the relative distance and results in a decreased sensitivity. Herein, a conformal design is introduced into the gradient structure to construct a flexible capacitive pressure sensor. The gradient conformal dome structure is fabricated by a simple reverse dome adsorption process. Taking advantage of the progressive deformation behavior of the gradient dielectric, and the significant improvement of relative distance variation between two electrodes from the conformal design, the sensor achieves a sensitivity of 0.214 kPa-1 in an ultrabroad linear range up to 200 kPa. It maintains high-pressure resolution under the preload of 10 and 100 kPa. Benefiting from the rapid response and excellent repeatability, the sensor can be used for physiological monitor and human motion detection, including arterial pulse, joint bending, and motion state. The gradient conformal design strategy may pave a promising avenue to develop pressure sensors with high sensitivity and wide linear range.
