柔性传感中的液态金属复合材料

ABSTRACT

Flexible conductive composites combine the conductivity of fillers with the flexibility of polymers, and are therefore widely used in flexible sensors and soft robotics. However, most conventional composites face performance deficiencies such as low sensitivity, limited functionality, and poor conductivity when stretched, which restricts their applications in soft devices. In this talk, I will introduce a new family of multiscale structured stretchable composites with embedded liquid metals that addressing this challenge. Specifically, I proposed the first ever liquid metal hybrid elastomer with unconventional strain response, with a several-magnitude increase in conductivity under any mechanical loading. On this basis, I created composites with unprecedented anisotropic piezoresistivity and high sensitivity through multi-scale structured design. Their applications in ultrasensitive flexible sensors, self-sensing actuators, and intelligent systems demonstrate performance superior to state-of-the-arts. Based on a liquid metal elastomers with self-adjustable resistance and stiffness, I also demonstrated an active control method of mechanical systems without external control. Owing to its unique electromechanical properties, these liquid metal composites shows broad application prospects in advanced sensors and flexible wearable electronics.

柔性导电复合材料兼具填料的导电性和聚合物的柔韧性,在柔性传感器和软体机器人中得到广泛应用。然而,大多数传统复合材料存在灵敏度低、功能单一、拉伸时导电性衰减等性能缺陷,限制了它们在柔性设备中的应用。为应对这一挑战,我将介绍一种具有多尺度结构设计的新型液态金属多填料复合材料。具体来说,我提出了一种具有非常规应变响应的液态金属混合弹性体,在任何机械载荷下,其电导率都可以提高几个数量级。在此基础上,我通过多尺度结构化设计,创建了具有各向异性压阻效应和极高压力灵敏度的复合材料。它们在超灵敏柔性传感器、自感知执行器和智能系统中的应用表现远超最先进的技术。基于具有可自调节电阻和刚度的液态金属弹性体,我还展示了一种无需外部控制的机械系统主动调控方法。由于其独特的机械和电学性能,这些液态金属复合材料在先进传感器和可穿戴电子设备中展现出广阔的应用前景。

软物质材料:从结构设计到生物医学与软体机器人应用

ABSTRACT

Soft materials exhibit limitless possibilities and potentials to revolutionize various technological domains due to their inherent mechanical flexibility, stretchability, and biocompatibility. Unlike traditional rigid materials, soft materials can conform to complex surfaces, endure significant deformation, and interact seamlessly with biological tissues. These unique properties make them excellent candidates for a wide range of applications that require adaptability and resilience. This presentation focuses on liquid metal based materials architecture design and applications of soft matter in soft electronics, biomedical engineering, and soft robotics.

液态金属相变智能弹性体与软体机器人

ABSTRACT

The transition of matter from solid to liquid state in nature is a fundamental and ancient physical phenomenon, ubiquitous in everyday life. For instance, the ancient sayings "water droplets turn into ice" and "candles weeping" vividly depict these common solidification and melting processes. Metals, due to their exceptional properties, play an indispensable role in modern industry. However, the high melting points of many metals pose significant challenges for the study and application of reversible phase transitions in metals. Room-temperature liquid metals, as a class of materials with unique physicochemical properties, have garnered increasing attention in recent years; their potential in various key research fields and high-tech industries is continuously being unearthed. Particularly, gallium-based liquid metals, with their melting points near room temperature, can achieve reversible solid-liquid phase transitions under relatively mild conditions. During this process, the material's optical, thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties undergo significant changes, providing an ideal platform for in-depth study and utilization of metal solid-liquid phase transition characteristics. The report will focus on the multi-stimuli triggered phase transition behavior of liquid metal elastomer materials, exploring how performance regulation can expand their applications in smart sensing, soft robotics, energy storage, and other fields.

自然界中物质从固态到液态的转变是一个基本而古老的物理现象,它在日常生活中无处不在,比如古语中所说的“滴水成冰”和“蜡烛垂泪”就形象地描绘了这些常见的凝固和熔化过程。金属因其卓越的特性,在现代工业中扮演着不可或缺的角色。然而,许多金属的熔点较高,这给研究和应用金属的可逆相变过程带来了不小的挑战。而室温液态金属作为一类具有独特物理化学性质的材料近年来得到了越来越多的关注;其在多个关键研究领域和高科技产业的潜力也不断被挖掘出来。特别是以镓为基础的液态金属,由于其室温附近的熔点,可以在相对温和的条件下实现可逆的固液相变。这一过程中,材料的光学、热学、力学和电学性能会发生显著变化,为深入研究和利用金属固液相变特性提供了一个理想的平台。报告将重点介绍液态金属弹性体材料的多刺激触发相变行为,探讨如何通过性能调控来拓展其在智能传感、软体机器人、能源存储等领域的应用。
