Aiming at the problems that traditional manufacturing processes for fabricating flexible piezoresistive tactile sensors are characterized by complex procedures
long manufacturing cycles
insufficient sensitivity
and slow response speeds
aerosol jet printing(AJP)technology is utilized to fabricate flexible piezoresistive tactile sensors with a micro square column structure.The influence rule of aerosol jet printing process parameters on the quality of printed lines is studied.Through testing
the sensitivity of the sensor reaches 49.89×10
-2
N
-1
within the pressure range of 0~1.2N.The response time and re
covery time of the fabricated sensor are 41.09ms and 41.14ms
respectively.It exhibits good stability even after more than 1000 pressure cycle tests.The temperature detection sensitivity is 22.19×10

/℃ within the range of 25~100℃
with a linearity of 99.86%.The prepared flexible piezoresistive tactile sensor
which possesses skinlike characteristics
can detect pressure and temperature
showing good application prospects in the fields of human health monitoring
