Abstract:

In order to prepare pressure-sensitive materials with good resilience and sensing properties, a conductive polyaniline/polyurethane foam was prepared by in-situ polymerization using high elastic porous polyurethane foam as substrate. The structure and properties of conductive polyaniline/polyurethane foam were studied. The pressure sensitivity of the conductive polyaniline/polyurethane foam under different compressive strains were analyzed and used for monitoring human motion. The results show that polyaniline is attached to the surface and internal gap of the polyurethane foam, demonstrating good electrical conductivity, and the resistivity decreased to 1.214×103 Ω·cm. Compared with the polyurethane foam before treatment, the elastic modulus and maximum load of the conductive polyaniline/polyurethane foam are reduced. The pressure sensor prepared from the conductive polyaniline/polyurethane foam has good sensing performance. It exhibits good linearity, sensitivity and repeatability at 30% and 50% compression rate, but the sensing performance at 80% compression rate decreases. Jogging monitoring shows that the pressure sensor is able to monitor human movement.
