Fabrication of tunable and wearable strain sensor for adjusting photopolymerization

摘要

Wearable strain sensors are attracting great attention owing to their remarkable applications in physiologicalmonitoringand motion-sensing. However, there are two limitations for the fabrication of wearable strain sensors becauseadditional material synthesis process and additional adhesive material are necessary. In this presentation, we introducethe method for the fabrication of wearable and attachable strain sensors without additional process and material. Bycontrolling laser parameters, we successfully fabricated wearable and attachable sensors consisting of silver nanowiresand polymer having diverse mechanical and adhesive properties. Our work helps guide fabricating nanowire-basedresistive wearable strain sensors using the laser- based 3D printing.
