摘要
Flexible electronic skin has stimulated significant interest due to its widespread applications in the fields of human-machine interactivity, smart robots and health monitoring. As typical elements of electrical skin, the fabrication process of most pressure sensors combined nanomaterials and PDMS films are redundant, expensive and complicated, and their unknown biological toxicity could not be widely used in electronic skin. Hence, we report a novel, costeffective and antibacterial approach to immobilizing silver nanoparticles into-electrospun Naalginate nanofibers. Due to the unique role of carboxyl and hydroxyl groups in Na-alginate, the silver nanopaticles with 30 nm size in diameter were uniformly distributed inside and outside the alginate nanofibers, which obtained pressure sensor shows stable response, including an ultralow detection limited (1 pa) and high durability (> 1000 cycles). Notably, the pressure sensor fabricated by these Ag/alginate nanofibers could not only follow human respiration but also accurately distinguish words like 'Nano' and 'Perfect' spoke by a tester. Interestingly, the pixelated sensor arrays based on these Ag/alginate nanofibers could monitor distribution of objects and reflect their weight by measuring the different current values. Moreover, these Ag/alginate nanofibers exhibit great antibacterial activity, implying the great potential application in artificial electronic skin.
