The development of smart protective clothing will help detect injuries from contact sports, traffic collisions, and other accidents. The combination of ecoflex, spacer fabric, and graphene-based aerogel provides a multifunctional composite. It shows a strain sensitivity of 17.71 at the strain range of 4055%, a pressure sensitivity of 0.125 kPa at the pressure range of 015 kPa, and a temperature sensitivity of -0.648 °C. After 50 impact tests, its protection coefficient only dropped from 60% to 55%. Additionally, it shows thermal insulation properties. The compression and impact process results of finite element numerical simulation analysis are in good agreement with the experimental results. The ecoflex/aerogel/spacer fabric sensor exhibits a simple structure, large pressure strain, high sensitivity, flexibility, and ease of fabrication, making it a candidate for smart protective clothing resistant to impact loads.
智能防护服的研发将有助于检测接触性运动、交通碰撞及其他事故造成的损伤。生态弹性体、间隔织物和石墨烯基气凝胶的组合提供了一种多功能复合材料。它在40%至55%的应变范围内显示出17.71的应变灵敏度,在0至15 kPa的压力范围内显示出0.125 kPa的压力灵敏度,以及-0.648 °C的温度灵敏度。经过50次冲击测试后,其保护系数仅从60%降至55%。此外,它还具有隔热性能。有限元数值模拟分析的压缩和冲击过程结果与实验结果吻合良好。生态弹性体/气凝胶/间隔织物传感器结构简单、压力应变大、灵敏度高、柔韧性好且易于制造,使其成为耐冲击载荷智能防护服的候选材料。
