Abstract

at 0-1.5 kPa), a fast response/recovery time (45/45 ms), a wide pressure detection range (0-200 kPa), a low detection limit (∼9 Pa) and an excellent mechanical stability (8000 cycles). Due to its superior performance, the sensor can monitor subtle changes in human physiology and other signals, such as pulse, respiration, human joint motions and airflow. In addition, a 4 × 4 sensor array is fabricated that can accurately map the shape and position of objects with good resolution. The high-performance flexible pressure sensor, as developed in this work, shows good application prospects in advanced human-computer interface systems.
