A high-performance wearable pressure sensor based on an MXene/PVP composite nanofiber membrane for health monitoring.

ABSTRACT: Flexible and wearable pressure sensors have attracted extensive attention in domains, such as electronic skin, medical monitoring and human-machine interaction. However, developing a pressure sensor with high sensitivity, mechanical stability and a wide detection range remains a huge challenge. In this work, a flexible capacitive pressure sensor, based on a Ti₃C₂T _x (MXene)/polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) composite nanofiber membrane (CNM), prepared via an efficient electrospinning process, is presented. The experimental results show that even a small mass fraction of MXene can effectively decrease the compression modulus of the PVP nanofiber membrane, thus enhancing the sensing performance. Specifically, the sensor based on (0.1 wt% MXene)/PVP CNM has a high sensitivity (0.5 kPa^-1 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.

Project description:In the present global context, continuous blood pressure (BP) monitoring is paramount in addressing the global mortality rates attributed to hypertension. Achieving precise insights into the human cardiovascular system necessitates accurate measurement of BP, and the accuracy depends on the faithful recording of oscillations or pulsations. This task ultimately depends on the caliber of the pressure sensor embedded in the BP device. In this context, we have fabricated a flexible resistive pressure sensor based on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) sponge that is highly flexible and sensitive. The designed device operates effectively with a minimal bias voltage of 500 mV, at which point it showed its maximum relative change in current, reaching approximately 25%. Additionally, the sensing device showed a notable change in resistance values, exhibiting almost 100% change in resistance when subjected to a pressure of 400 mmHg and high sensitivity of 0.27 mmHg-1. After promising outcomes were obtained during static pressure measurement, the sensor was used for BP monitoring in humans. The sensor accurately traced the oscillometric waveform (OMW) for distinct systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) combinations to cover a range of medical situations, including hypotension, standard or normal, and hypertension. The values of SBP, DBP, and MAP were derived from the sensor's output using the MAA technique, and the errors in these values concerning the simulator and the traditional BP monitor follow the universal AAMI/ESH/ISO protocols. Bland-Altman (B&A) correlation and scatter plots were used to compare the sensor's results and further validate the proposed sensor. The sensor showed the mean and standard deviation error in the SBP, DBP, and MBP of -0.2 ± 5.9, -0.5 ± 7, and -0.9 ± 4.7 mmHg when compared with the noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) simulator. The pulse rate (PR) was also calculated from the same OMW for the specified value of 80 beats per minute (bpm) given by the simulator and reported a mean PR value of ∼81 bpm, close to the reference value. The findings show that the flexible resistive sensing device can accurately measure BP and replace the existing sensors of BP devices.
