- Abstract
Accurately capturing human movements is a crucial element of health status monitoring and a necessary precondition for realizing future virtual reality/augmented reality applications. Flexible motion sensors with exceptional sensitivity are capable of detecting physical activities by converting them into resistance fluctuations. Silver nanowires (AgNWs) have become a preferred choice for the development of various types of sensors due to their outstanding electrical conductivity, transparency, and flexibility within polymer composites. Herein, we present the design and fabrication of a flexible strain sensor based on silver nanowires. Suitable substrate materials were selected, and the sensor's sensitivity and fatigue properties were characterized and tested, with the sensor maintaining reliability after 5000 deformation cycles. Different sensors were prepared by controlling the concentration of silver nanowires to achieve the collection of motion signals from various parts of the human body. Additionally, we explored potential applications of these sensors in fields such as health monitoring and virtual reality. In summary, this work integrated the acquisition of different human motion signals, demonstrating great potential for future multifunctional wearable electronic devices.
