Background:

Iontronic pressure sensors are key for wearable devices.
Existing microstructured sensors often show nonlinearity, limiting precise measurements.
Achieving linearity in flexible pressure sensors is a significant challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a double-sided microstructured iontronic pressure sensor with a wide linear sensing range.
To overcome the limitations of nonlinearity in current pressure sensor designs.
To provide a straightforward method for creating linear and sensitive flexible pressure sensors.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of a flexible iontronic pressure sensor using an ionic gel (EMIM:TFSI in PVDF-HFP) as the active layer.
Creation of double-sided microstructures: irregular microstructures (IMS) via sandpaper molding and pyramid microstructures (PMS) using a template.
Utilizing pattern transfer techniques for easy and uniform microstructure fabrication.

Main Results:

The sensor demonstrated exceptional signal linearity with R² values of 0.9975 (100–760 kPa) and 0.9985 (760–1000 kPa).
Achieved a wide linear sensing range up to 1000 kPa.
The linearity is attributed to the balanced compression and alignment of microstructures at the ionic gel interface.

Conclusions:

A simple and effective method for fabricating linear flexible iontronic pressure sensors was presented.
The double-sided microstructured design significantly enhances linearity and expands the sensing range.
The developed sensor holds promise for applications in intelligent robots and advanced health monitoring systems.
