Tuning the Piezoresistive Behavior of Graphene-Polybenzoxazine Nanocomposites: Toward High-Performance Materials for Pressure Sensing Applications

Résumé

Flexible piezoresistive pressure sensors are key components in wearable technologies for health monitoring, digital healthcare, human–machine interfaces, and robotics. Among active materials for pressure sensing, graphene-based materials are extremely promising because of their outstanding physical characteristics. Currently, a key challenge in pressure sensing is the sensitivity enhancement through the fine tuning of the active material’s electro-mechanical properties. Here, we describe a novel versatile approach to modulating the sensitivity of graphene-based piezoresistive pressure sensors by combining chemically reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with a thermally responsive material, namely, a novel trifunctional polybenzoxazine thermoset precursor based on tris(3-aminopropyl)amine and phenol reagents (PtPA). The integration of rGO in a polybenzoxazine thermoresist matrix results in an electrically conductive nanocomposite where the thermally triggered resist’s polymerization modulates the active material rigidity and consequently the piezoresistive response to pressure. Pressure sensors comprising the rGO-PtPA blend exhibit sensitivities ranging from 10e–2 to 1 kPa–1, which can be modulated by controlling the rGO:PtPA ratio or the curing temperature. Our rGO-PtPA blend represents a proof-of-concept graphene-based nanocomposite with on-demand piezoresistive behavior. Combined with solution processability and a thermal curing process compatible with large-area coatings technologies on flexible supports, this method holds great potential for applications in pressure sensing for health monitoring.
