Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a dual-layer strained substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the dual-layer strained substrate may include: a first base layer 1 and a second base layer 2 disposed on the first base layer 1. Specifically, the first base layer 1 has a hardness greater than that of the second base layer 2, and the surface of the second base layer 2 is wavy. Because the first base layer arranged at the lower part of the double-layer strain matrix has higher hardness, the mechanical strength of the double-layer strain matrix is enhanced, the mechanical strength of the whole structure is improved, and the problem of insufficient strength of the existing mechanical system taking a single soft base layer as a support is solved. In addition, the surface of the second base layer disposed on the upper portion of the dual-layer strained substrate is wavy, so that the stretchable property of the second base layer in the dual-layer strained substrate is maintained, and thus the dual-layer strained substrate provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to the design of a stretchable electronic device, and the corresponding stretchable electronic device has strong mechanical strength while maintaining the stretchable property.
The dual-layer strained substrate provided by embodiments of the present invention may be fabricated using pre-strain. Firstly, transferring a rigid film onto a flat pre-strained double-layer strain substrate, wherein the pre-strain direction of the double-layer strain substrate is a horizontal direction; second, the pre-strain of the bi-layer strained substrate is released and the bi-layer strained substrate is allowed to return to its original length, at which point the rigid film and the second base layer on top of the bi-layer strained substrate are bent into a wave-like geometry, thereby allowing the bi-layer strained substrate to provide an effective horizontal tensile force.
Through the analysis of the mechanical properties of the structure formed by the second base layer alone and the double-layer strained substrate, the double-layer strained substrate provided by the embodiment of the invention is found to have substantially the same wavelength and amplitude when the ratio of the thickness of the second base layer 2 to the waved wavelength of the surface of the second base layer is greater than or equal to 12, which indicates that the functions of the two-layer substrate materials in the double-layer strained substrate provided by the embodiment of the invention can be decoupled, and the first base layer of the lower layer can be independently performed in terms of the selection and design of the materials without affecting the overall tensile properties of the device. The specific mechanical properties were analyzed as follows:
the elastic energy of the bilayer matrix can be determined by the edge values. First using uiAnd wiDenotes the displacement in the x and z directions, where i ═ 1 and 2 denote the top and bottom layers of the substrate, respectively. The equilibrium equation can be expressed in terms of displacement:
wherein v isiIs the poisson's ratio of each substrate layer. Let z be 0 denote the top surface of the substrate. Continuity of displacement between the film and the substrate is required
w1|z＝0＝w0＝Acos(kx)
Because the film is much stiffer than both substrate layers, the shear at the film/substrate interface is negligible,
displacement and stress continuity requirements
Solving the equation can obtain the elastic energy of the double-layer matrix

The total energy of the system can be written as Utotal＝Ub+Um+UsMinimum required energy
The expression of wavelength and amplitude can be obtained
The wavelength and the amplitude of the single-layer aggregate are subjected to non-dimensionalization to obtain the corresponding non-dimensionalized wavelength and amplitude
The results of the variation of the dimensionless wavelength and amplitude with respect to the Young's modulus ratio and the thickness-wavelength ratio of the upper and lower layers are shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. From the results, it can be seen that when η0>12, the wavelength and amplitude of the two layers of substrates are basically the same as the result of only the upper layer material, which shows that the functions of the two layers of substrate materials can be decoupled, and the selection and design of the lower layer substrate material can be carried out independently without affecting the whole deviceThe stretchability of (a). Therefore, the lower-layer substrate material can be designed by using a skin-like and nonlinear bionic substrate, so that the matching with the mechanical properties of the skin in the stretching deformation process is completed.
The composite material consisting of hard and soft structures found in biology provides inspiration for constructing novel synthetic materials. Fig. 4 is a schematic structural view of a biopolymer. As shown in fig. 4, the solid lines connecting the solid points represent collagen and elastin in the biological system, which are filled in the biological tissue to impart elasticity to the biological tissue. The flexible bionic structure can be constructed by simulating the structure of the biological tissue, so that the simulation of the mechanical property of the skin or the biological tissue is realized, and the flexible bionic structure can be matched with the nonlinear stretching property of the skin or the biological tissue.
In order to enable the first base layer in the dual-layer strained substrate provided by the embodiment of the invention to be matched with the mechanical properties of the skin, thereby improving the wearing comfort of the dual-layer strained substrate and the stretchable electronic device constructed by the dual-layer strained substrate, the first base layer may be designed into a structure including a flexible substrate and a fiber network disposed in the flexible substrate. In one embodiment, the two-dimensional fiber network of polyimide filaments may be disposed within a flexible matrix by photolithography, and the flexible matrix may be selected from a matrix having a degree of softness similar to that of skin. Fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of a fiber network in a first substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 5, the solid lines connecting the solid points represent fiber networks that fill the first substrate to provide the first substrate with mechanical properties similar to skin. The fiber network shown in fig. 5 includes a plurality of topologies arranged regularly, and the nodes of each topology are connected by a wavy microstructure. Fig. 6 is an enlarged view of a wavy microstructure constituting a fiber network provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6, the wavy microstructure has a predetermined width w, and peaks or valleys constituting the wavy microstructure have a predetermined arc angle θ.
The composite structure of the first substrate described above has non-linear characteristics similar to those of skin at various locations. Here, the approach of designing the composite structure is first introduced to improve the comfort of the first substrate during wear by precisely matching the stress-strain characteristics to the skin. The wavy microstructure, like collagen and elastin in biological systems, can uniquely define the mechanical properties of the first substrate. The wavy microstructure may be represented by three dimensionless parameters, namely arc angle θ, normalized width w, and normalized thickness t.
Next, the first substrate may be mechanically evaluated using finite element simulations. In a specific embodiment, the topology of the fiber network in the first substrate may be a triangular topology, a honeycomb topology, or a Kagome topology. Due to the six-fold symmetry of the topology, a fiber network made of the topology can provide isotropic elastic properties under small strains. Fig. 7 to 9 are schematic structural diagrams of a triangular topology, a honeycomb topology, or a Kagome topology, respectively. As shown in fig. 7, each side constituting the triangular topological structure is a wavy microstructure, and the structure in the dashed frame is a triangular topological structure; as shown in fig. 8, each side constituting the honeycomb-shaped topological structure is a wavy microstructure, and the structure in the dotted frame is a honeycomb-shaped topological structure; as shown in fig. 9, each side of the Kagome topological structure is a wavy microstructure, a space is formed between the Kagome topological structures, and the structure in the dashed box is a Kagome topological structure.
In another embodiment, the topology of the fiber network in the first substrate may be a square topology or a diamond topology, and the fiber network composed of the square topology or the diamond topology can provide an anisotropic elastic response. Fig. 10 and fig. 11 are schematic structural diagrams of a square topology or a diamond topology, respectively. As shown in fig. 10, each side constituting the square topological structure is a wave-shaped microstructure, and the structure in the dashed frame is a square topological structure; as shown in fig. 11, each edge constituting the rhombus topological structure is a wave-shaped microstructure, and a space is formed between the rhombus topological structures, and the structure in the dashed box is a rhombus topological structure.
The relative density, defined by the ratio of the mass density of the fiber network to the mass density of the corresponding flexible matrix, is approximately linearly proportional to the width of the undulating microstructure, as shown in equations (1) to (3):
wherein the content of the first and second substances,
and
respectively representing the relative densities of the triangular topology, the honeycomb topology and the Kagome topology; theta and w respectively represent the arc angle and the width of the wavy microstructure constituting each topology.
For a given relative density (e.g. relative density)
) The stress-strain curves for the first substrate with a triangular topology, a honeycomb topology, or a Kagome topology are shown in fig. 12. In fig. 12, curve 91 represents the stress-strain curve for a first base layer having a triangular topology, curve 92 represents the stress-strain curve for a first base layer having a honeycomb topology, and curve 93 represents the stress-strain curve for a first base layer having a Kagome topology. Among them, the first base layer having a triangular topology exhibits the most prominent strain limiting behavior. Taking the first base layer with triangular topological structure as an example, other design parameters (such as wavy micro-junctions) are analyzedThe arc angle, width, and thickness of the structure) has an effect on the mechanical properties of the first substrate. For the first base layer with the triangular topological structure, the arc angle of the wavy microstructure is set to be 180 degrees, the thickness of the wavy microstructure is set to be 0.15 mu m, and stress-strain curves of the wavy microstructure in the x direction and the y direction are drawn. As shown in fig. 13, a curve 101 represents a stress-strain curve in the x direction of the first base layer having a triangular topology and composed of the wavy microstructure, and a curve 102 represents a stress-strain curve in the y direction of the first base layer having a triangular topology and composed of the wavy microstructure. As can be seen in fig. 13, the first base layer has isotropic characteristics for stretch within 40%, but at greater strain stretch, the first base layer requires moderate anisotropy.
Taking the first base layer with a triangular topology as an example, when the wavy microstructure has a predetermined width (for example, the width w is 0.15 μm), the stress-strain curve of the first base layer is changed by the different arc angles θ of the wavy microstructure, as shown in fig. 14. In fig. 14, a curve 111 represents a stress-strain curve of the first base layer corresponding to an arc angle θ of the wavy microstructure of 90 °; curve 112 represents a stress-strain curve of the first base layer corresponding to an arc angle θ of the wavy microstructure of 120 °; curve 113 represents a stress-strain curve of the first base layer corresponding to an arc angle θ of 150 ° in the wavy microstructure; curve 114 represents a stress-strain curve of the first base layer corresponding to an arc angle θ of 180 ° of the wavy microstructure; curve 115 shows the stress-strain curve of the first base layer corresponding to an arc angle θ of 200 ° of the wavy microstructure. Still taking the first base layer with a triangular topology as an example, when the wavy microstructure has a predetermined radian (e.g., the radian θ is 180 °), the stress-strain curve of the first base layer is changed by the difference of the width w of the wavy microstructure, as shown in fig. 15. In fig. 15, a curve 121 represents a stress-strain curve of the first base layer corresponding to a width w of the wavy microstructure of 0.25 μm; curve 122 represents the stress-strain curve of the first base layer corresponding to the width w of the wavy microstructure being 0.20 μm; curve 123 represents the stress-strain curve of the first base layer corresponding to the width w of the wavy microstructure being 0.15 μm; curve 124 represents the stress-strain curve of the first base layer corresponding to the width w of the wavy microstructure being 0.10 μm; curve 125 shows the stress-strain curve of the first base layer corresponding to the width w of the wavy microstructure being 0.05 μm. Fig. 14 to 15 show that the arc angle of the wavy microstructure controls the transition from low tangent modulus to high tangent modulus (i.e. transition strain), and the width of the wavy microstructure defines how fast the transition is.
Fig. 16 shows the effect of the thickness t of the wavy microstructure on the mechanical properties of the first substrate. Taking the first base layer with a triangular topology as an example, when the wavy microstructure has a predetermined width and a predetermined arc angle (for example, the width w is 0.15 μm, and the arc angle θ is 180 °), the stress-strain curve of the first base layer is changed by the difference in the thickness t of the wavy microstructure, as shown in fig. 16. In fig. 16, a curve 131 represents a stress-strain curve of the first base layer corresponding to a thickness t of 80 μm of the wavy microstructure; curve 132 represents the stress-strain curve of the first base layer corresponding to the thickness t of the wavy microstructure being 55 μm; curve 133 shows the stress-strain curve of the first base layer for a wavy microstructure having a thickness t of 20 μm. Fig. 16 shows that a decrease in thickness of the undulating microstructure results in an increase in the slope of the stress-strain curve across the transition strain, i.e. the thickness of the undulating microstructure enhances the degree of rapidity of the transition. The thickness of the undulating microstructure has a relatively small effect on the first base layer compared to the parameters of fig. 14-15. FIG. 17 shows the tangent modulus variation curves corresponding to the thicknesses of different wavy microstructures. In fig. 17, a curve 141 shows a tangent modulus variation curve corresponding to a thickness t of 80 μm of the wavy microstructure; curve 142 represents the tangent modulus variation curve corresponding to the thickness t of the wavy microstructure being 55 μm; curve 143 shows the tangent modulus variation curve for a wavy microstructure having a thickness t of 20 μm. FIG. 17 shows that as the strain increases, the tangent modulus increases slowly and then increases sharply until the strain increasespeakMaximum reached at 60% and then decrease. In the first substrate, for any given fiber network, there is a critical thickness below which stretching to a peak at the first substrate occurspeakBuckling will occur.
In one embodiment, a first substrate is made using a soft, breathable, thin elastomer (about 100 μm thick) as the flexible matrix, with a fiber network (about 20 μm to 50 μm thick) of polyimide made by laser cutting or photolithography or the like embedded therein, which can accurately reproduce the stress-strain curves of real human skin at different areas of the body. In one embodiment, a first base layer with a triangular topological structure is used to simulate the mechanical performance of skin on the back of a human body (the stress-strain curve of the skin on the back of the human body is shown as curve 151' in fig. 18), the width w of the wavy microstructure in the first base layer is set to be 0.15 μm, the arc angle θ is set to be 110 ° and the radius R is set to be 400 μm, and the stress-strain curve is shown as curve 151 in fig. 18; the mechanical performance of the skin at another position on the back of the human body is simulated by using the first base layer with a triangular topological structure (the stress-strain curve of the skin at another position on the back of the human body is shown as a curve 152' in fig. 18), the width w of the wave-shaped microstructure in the first base layer is set to be 0.11 μm, the arc angle theta is set to be 150 ° and the radius R is set to be 400 μm, and the stress-strain curve is shown as a curve 152 in fig. 18; the mechanical properties of the skin of the human abdomen are simulated by using the first base layer with a triangular topological structure (the stress-strain curve of the skin of the human abdomen is shown as a curve 153' in fig. 18), the width w of the wave-shaped microstructure in the first base layer is set to be 0.12 μm, the arc angle θ is set to be 200 ° and the radius R is set to be 400 μm, and the stress-strain curve is shown as a curve 153 in fig. 18. Fig. 18 shows that the stress-strain curves of the three first substrates are respectively matched with the stress-strain curves of the real human skin at the corresponding positions, thereby confirming that the first substrate provided by the embodiment of the invention has similar mechanical properties with the skin or biological tissues.
The first base layer provided by the embodiment of the invention combines the hard fiber network with the soft flexible base body, so that a bionic flexible biological structure is constructed to realize skin-like, and the defect that the existing flexible base body, skin and tissue are not matched with the mechanical property of the skin in the stretching process is overcome, so that the comfort degree of the first base layer and the bio-integrated electronic device formed by the first base layer in the wearing process can be greatly improved, and the mechanical invisibility of the first base layer, the double-layer strain base body and the stretchable electronic device in the skin tissue deformation process can be realized.
Embodiments of the present invention also provide a stretchable electronic device, as shown in fig. 19, which includes any one of the two-layer strain matrices 3 in the above embodiments, and a sensor layer 4 and/or a soft encapsulation layer 5 may be further disposed on the two-layer strain matrix 3. Due to the soft packaging layer 5, the stretchable electronic device has the characteristics of water resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, heat resistance and the like, so that the function of the stretchable electronic device is further promoted.
In one embodiment, the sensor layer 4 may be a rigid film having a corrugated surface that is attached to the second substrate of the two-layer strain matrix 3.
