Abstract:

The paper aims to explore the combination effect of two-dimensional transition metal carbide/nitride(MXene) and natural fibers so as to devise capacitive flexible sensing fabric with a simplified preparation process by knitting. In the experiment, a new two-dimensional transition metal carbide Ti3C2 was used as the conductive material, and cotton yarn as matrix fiber to achieve the continuous preparation of conductive yarns. A cross structure capacitive pressure sensor was designed with a flat-knitting spacer fabric as dielectric layer and conductive yarns as electrodes. The effects of treatment time on the micro morphology, bonding effect and electrical conductivity of the yarns were studied, and the mechanical properties and capacitance characteristics of the pressure sensor were analyzed. The experimental results show that the conductivity of the composite yarn of Ti3C2 material and cotton yarn reach 0.872 S/cm. The prepared sensor has good compression recovery, and remarkable capacitance characteristics. The highest sensitivity is 0.028 kPa-1, the response time is less than 150 ms, demonstrating durability and stability of the sensor after 200 compression cycles.

Key words: two-dimensional transition metal carbide, conductive yarn, flat-knitted spacer fabric, capacitive sensor, flexible sensor
