Development of flexible sheet-type shear force sensor using electrolyte

研制了一种柔性薄板剪切力传感器。 该传感器由薄金属电极图案塑料薄膜、橡胶材料和液体电解质组成。 为了开发这种传感器，我们进行了三维有限元计算，以获得电极设计的指导方针。 我们还进行了电解质的电化学研究。 我们对传感器结构进行了多次改进，最终获得了厚度为0.8 mm的薄型传感器。我们为传感器开发了两种类型的测量电路系统。 此外，作为应用实例，开发了步行活动的记录系统。在国际期刊上发表了1篇英文论文，进行了6次国际报告。

A thin flexible sheet-type shear force sensor has been developed. This sensor is composed of thin metal electrode-patterned plastic films, rubber materials, and liquid electrolyte. To develop this sensor, we carried out 3d-finite element method calculation to get guidelines for electrode designing. We also performed electrochemical research of electrolyte. We have refined sensor structure several times, and finally obtained a thin sensor of which thickness was 0.8 mm. We developed 2 types of measurement circuit systems for the sensor. Furthermore, as an example of application, a recording system of walking activity has been developed.We have published one English paper on an international journal, and performed presentation 6 times including international presentation.
