Further, the precursor solution is an organic solution of polyamic acid, and the carbonizable polymer is polyimide, wherein the organic solution adopts N, N '-dimethylformamide or N, N' -dimethylacetamide as a solvent. During the heat treatment, the solvent in the precursor solution can be removed, and the polyamic acid can be amidated to form polyimide.
Further, the heat treatment time is 0.5-5 h.
Further, in the step (1), the following steps are included:
modifying the organic solution of the carbonizable macromolecule on part of the surface of the flexible substrate, and carrying out heat treatment at the temperature of 100-300 ℃ to form the carbonizable macromolecule layer, wherein the organic solvent used by the organic solution is N, N' -dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, sulfolane, ethylene nitrate or the like.

Further, the carbonizable polymer is polyacrylonitrile, polyurethane, or cellulose.
Further, in the step (1), a part of the surface of the flexible substrate is modified with the carbonizable polymer by spin coating, blade coating, drop coating, spray coating, soaking or in-situ growth.
Further, in step (1), the carbonizable polymer is bonded to the flexible substrate to such an extent that the surface is covered, partially compounded, or completely compounded. Surface coating means that the carbonizable polymer only generates simple physical bonding with the surface of the flexible substrate; compounding refers to the chemically bonding of the carbonizable polymer to the flexible matrix or the penetration of the carbonizable polymer into the interior of the porous matrix. By fully compounded, it is meant that the microscale pores on the surface of the flexible substrate are completely filled with carbonizable polymers.
Further, in step (1), the flexible substrate is paper (such as a4 paper, coated paper, filter paper or kraft paper), high temperature resistant fabric (such as aramid), plastic with ductility (such as PET), thin metal sheet (such as steel sheet or aluminum foil), glass or ceramic.

In the step (2), after laser irradiation, the structure of the carbonizable polymer layer is changed to generate a porous carbon structure, the processing parameters of laser are adjusted, the porosity, size and distribution of the carbon material can be regulated, and the size, shape and structure of the in-situ carbonization area are controlled by controlling the laser irradiation area, so that the resistance, capacitance or inductance sensing element is obtained.
Further, in the step (3), the electrical connection is made using a silver paste curing method or a soldering method.
Further, the silver adhesive curing method is to connect two points of the sensing element by using a lead, and to point the conductive silver adhesive at the connection point, and then to heat and cure the conductive silver adhesive, wherein the curing temperature is 50-200 ℃. The soldering method is soldering using solder.
The piezoresistive flexible sensor can be prepared by the method, and the sensitivity of the piezoresistive flexible sensor is 1-5000. Sensitivity refers to the relative change in resistance per unit strain. The sensitivity depends on the size, distribution, porosity, contact strength of the structural units, etc. of the carbon structures of the laser carbonized array. In addition, the sensitivity can be changed by changing the heat treatment temperature of the polymer base material, because the cross-linking and condensed structure of the polymer is changed by the heat treatment temperature of the polymer material, and the carbon structure formed by subsequent laser carbonization can be regulated and controlled.
The principle of the sensor manufactured by the method for responding to the stimulation is as follows:
the two materials (the polymer after in-situ carbonization and the flexible matrix) are combined in a hybrid mode, and deformation signals are converted into electric signals to be output by utilizing the difference of physical and chemical properties such as thermal expansion coefficient, hygroscopicity and the like. The corresponding difference can be detected by the electric signal generated by deformation, thereby endowing the sensor with multiple functions.
The sensor is suitable for various high-sensitivity sensing application occasions, and the physical parameters capable of responding are force or other physical parameters capable of being converted into stress (such as displacement, inclination, stress, strain, viscosity, humidity, acceleration, frequency and weight), and can also be other application fields capable of being converted into the physical parameters, and the sensor is used for respiratory monitoring and the like.
By the scheme, the invention at least has the following advantages:
according to the invention, the carbonizable polymer is compounded with the low-cost and environment-friendly flexible substrates such as paper/fabric in situ, and the sensing elements are written on the surface of the flexible substrate by writing the carbonizable polymer through laser (namely laser irradiation), so that an environment-friendly and low-cost flexible sensor preparation scheme is provided for the preparation of the flexible sensor. Meanwhile, the sensing element and the flexible substrate are well combined, and the stability of the whole structure is improved.
