초록
최근 신체활동에 대해 인식하는 센서와 그 제품군에 대한 관심 및 수요가 증가하고 있다. 특히 유연하고 연신이 가능하며 사용자의 생체신호를 감지할 수 있는 웨어러블 소재에 대한 개발이 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 소수성 소재에 Micro Needle을 통해 미세 구멍을 형성한 후 SWCNT 분산용액에 대한 함침 효율을 향상시키는 실험을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 구멍을 뚫지 않은 소재를 대조(control) 군으로 함침을 진행, 비교 분석하였다. 센서의 전기전도도를 평가하기 위해Strain UTM (Universal Testing Machine, UTM, Dacell)과 저항을 측정하는 멀티미터(Keysight)를 이용해 센서를 인장했을 때의 센서의 전기전도도를 측정하였다. 또한 센서의 내구성을 평가하기 위해 시료별로 500회 인장을 진행한 후에 센서의 전기전도도를 평가하였다. 그 결과 Needling을 한 센서의 전기전도성이 Needling을 하지 않은 센서에 비해 최소 16배이상 뛰어남을 알 수 있었다. 또한 센서의 초기 저항에 비해 게이지 팩터도 우수해 센서로서 좋은 성능을 확인할 수 있었다. 이를 통해 친수성 소재에 비해 물성이 뛰어나지만, 높은 표면장력 때문에 함침 효율이 좋지 않았던 소수성 소재의함침 효율을 높여 신체의 움직임을 더 효과적으로 감지하고 내구성과 활용 가능성이 뛰어난 센서를 제작했다.
Abstract
Recently, interest in and demand for sensors that recognize physical activity and their products are increasing. In particular, the development of wearable materials that are flexible, stretchable, and able to detect the user's biological signals is drawing attention. In this study, an experiment was conducted to improve the dip-coating efficiency of a single-walled carbon nanotube dispersion solution after fine holes were made in a hydrophobic material with a micro needle. In this study, dip-coating was performed with a material that was not penetrated, and comparative analysis was performed. The electrical conductivity of the sensor was measured when the sensor was stretched using a strain universal testing machine (Dacell Co. Ltd., Seoul, Korea) and a multimeter (Keysight Technologies, Santa Rosa, CA, USA) was used to measure resistance. It was found that the electrical conductivity of a sensor that was subjected to needling was at least 16 times better than that of a sensor that was not. In addition, the gauge factor was excellent, relative to the initial resistance of the sensor, so good performance as a sensor could be confirmed. Here, the dip-coating efficiency of hydrophobic materials, which have superior physical properties to hydrophilic materials but are not suitable due to their high surface tension, can be adopted to more effectively detect body movements and manufacture sensors with excellent durability and usability.
