Technical Field

The invention belongs to the field of flexible epidermal electronics, and particularly relates to a preparation method of an epidermal electronic device and a multi-mode epidermal electronic sensor.

Background

As one of the flexible electronics, the mechanical properties of the epidermal electronic system match those of human skin, and is lightweight and breathable. The sensor can be attached to the surface of human skin to detect physiological signals such as electrocardio, respiration, myoelectricity and the like temporary transfer tattoos.

Conventional methods of manufacturing skin electronic devices rely on standard microfabrication processes, including: spin coating, photolithography, wet or dry etching, and transfer printing to achieve patterning of the conductive material on the flexible substrate. Such fabrication methods have high patterning accuracy, but involve high raw material and process costs, and long process cycle times.

Another type of "cut and paste" based method is to first attach a polymer-metal laminate to the surface of a Thermal Release Tape (TRT) and mechanically engrave the polymer-metal laminate with a designed pattern using a bench top electronic cutting machine. The TRT tape is then tack-deactivated by heating to above 100 deg. so that the excess polymer-metal laminate is easily removed with tweezers, leaving only the designed pattern. And finally transferring the polymer-metal laminated pattern to the surface of the tattoo sticker or medical adhesive tape. The method has low process cost and short process period. There are several disadvantages, however: (1) the cutting precision of the blade type cutting head is limited, the minimum line width is about 200 mu m, and the blade type cutting head is easy to wear along with use and is not suitable for preparing a fine patterning device; (2) the polymer-metal laminate is cut and transferred as a whole, and the existence of the polymer increases the thickness of the metal electrode on one hand, further increases the contact resistance with the skin and is not beneficial to the measurement of physiological electric signals; on the other hand, only the metal layer side of the polymer-metal lamination has conductivity, so that the combination of the polymer-metal lamination with other conductive materials and preparation processes is limited; (3) the TRT adhesive tape introduces high temperature of more than 100 degrees, and restricts the combination with functional materials which cannot resist high temperature.

Then, one side of the PET having the copper foil pattern was attached to the surface of the breathable and stretchable substrate having surface adhesiveness on the water transfer tattoo paper 105, and the PET was peeled off after pressing. Since the stretchable substrate surface adheres much more to the copper foil than to the PET surface, the copper foil pattern is transferred to the stretchable substrate surface.

And (3) attaching the surface of the sand paper with the graphite particle layer to the surface of the breathable and stretchable substrate with surface adhesiveness on the water transfer tattoo paper, and tearing off the sand paper after pressing. The layer of graphite particles is transferred to the surface of the stretchable substrate due to adhesion.

And S3, putting the PET film into a plasma cleaning machine, and carrying out surface plasma cleaning for 3 minutes, so that the surface of the PET is cleaned and has weak adhesion. A 9 μm copper foil was then laid flat onto the PET substrate surface.

And S4, importing the designed circuit pattern file into a laser cutting machine, setting the laser pulse frequency to be 70kHz, the cutting rate to be 95mm/s and the cutting height to be 5.8mm, and carrying out patterned cutting on the copper foil on the PET.

And S5, removing the redundant copper foil on the PET by using tweezers, and only leaving the designed copper foil pattern. PET is then attached to the stretchable substrate surface where the transferred layer of graphite particles has been present in S2, ensuring good contact of the graphite regions with the copper foil at both ends. After a slight press, the PET substrate was peeled off and the copper foil pattern could be easily transferred to the stretchable substrate surface.

And the good contact and conduction between the two ends of the graphite region and the copper foil are ensured. Thus, the epidermal electronic sensor capable of simultaneously detecting electrocardio signals and respiratory frequency signals is prepared, and the sensor has a four-layer structure and comprises the following components in parts by weight: the sensor comprises a sensing functional layer, a stretchable basal layer, a water-soluble layer and a temporary basal layer. Wherein, the sensing functional layer includes: a copper foil electrode which can detect bioelectric signals and a graphite layer which can detect strain caused by the fluctuation of the thoracic cavity. The device can be used for comfortably and noninvasively acquiring electrocardio and respiratory signals of a person.

As shown in fig. 4, a fourth embodiment provides a method for using the multi-modal epidermal electronic sensor, the method comprising: in use, the stretchable substrate layer is applied to the skin 401 with the sensor unit on the side, and the sensor is wetted with a suitable amount of water 402, so that the water soluble layer is dissolved, and the temporary substrate layer automatically falls off with the water soluble layer, leaving only the sensor unit and the breathable stretchable substrate layer attached to the skin.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the invention, and that any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
