有高敏感和快反应速度的灵活 mechanosensors 可以推进保健设备的便携、可植入的应用,例如即时心率,脉搏,并且呼吸监视。在这份报纸,我们与 micro-structured 金字塔数组基于围单人赛的碳 nanotubes,聚乙烯,和 poly-dimethylsiloxane 介绍新奇灵活电子鼓膜(EE ) 。EE 设备在在 20-13,000 Hz 的一个频率领域以内检测并且记录声音显示出高敏感,高 signal-to-noise 比率(约 55 dB ) ,和快反应时间(76.9 s ) 。为健全察觉的机制被调查,敏感用微观结构,厚度,和紧张状态是坚定的。我们也证明设备能区分人的声音。灵活电子鼓膜的这崭新的表演为象可植入的听觉的生物电子和个人语音识别那样的许多应用程序有含意。
Flexible mechanosensors with a high sensitivity and fast response speed may advance the wearable and implantable applications of healthcare devices, such as real-time heart rate, pulse, and respiration monitoring. In this paper, we introduce a novel flexible electronic eardrum (EE) based on single-walled carbon nanotubes, polyethylene, and polydimethylsiloxane with micro-structured pyramid arrays. The EE device shows a high sensitivity, high signal-to-noise ratio (approximately 55 dB), and fast response time (76.9 μs) in detecting and recording sound within a frequency domain of 20-13,000 Hz. The mechanism for sound detection is investigated and the sensitivity is determined using the micro-structure, thickness, and strain state. We also demonstrated that the device is able to distinguish human voices. This unprecedented performance of the flexible electronic eardrum has implications for many applications such as implantable acoustical bioelectronics and personal voice recognition.
