Ultrasensitive stretchable bimodal sensor based on novel elastomer and ionic liquid for temperature and humidity detection
In this work, we present a novel stretchable bimodal sensor that can simultaneously detect temperature and humidity changes based on poly-hydroxyethyl acrylate (PHEA) elastomer infused with 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMIM-BF4) ionic liquid. The sensor exhibits high transparency,...

| description | In this work, we present a novel stretchable bimodal sensor that can simultaneously detect temperature and humidity changes based on poly-hydroxyethyl acrylate (PHEA) elastomer infused with 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMIM-BF4) ionic liquid. The sensor exhibits high transparency, stability, and biocompatibility, as well as excellent mechanical and sensing properties. The sensor can achieve a maximum strain of 761%, a sensitivity of 4.5%/°C at room temperature, a detection range from −35 to 120 °C, and a response time of 10 ms. The sensor is able to provide acute response to movement of human hand at close range and can detect temperature changes as small as 0.004 °C in the range of 20–30 °C. The sensor also responds to humidity change, showing a high sensitivity to humidity change of 4.4%/RH% under the temperature of 30 °C. The sensor can be used for various applications in wearable electronics, human-machine interfaces, and soft robotics. |
