Study of the sensitivity mechanism of a flexible temperature sensor

In this paper, a structure of a flexible temperature sensor is proposed. And its sensitivity mechanism is investigated. A physical model is established based on the proposed structure. A mathematical model is established based on the actual situation. A 3D model of the structure is created by COMSOL software. In which the mathematical model is studied for this sensor. The temperature field within this sensitive structure was calculated using the finite element method. The corresponding material properties in the sensor structure were set. Setting up the physical fields required for operation. Mesh this 3D structure. Setting the external ambient temperature. Setup of the type of study according to the actual situation. The sensor detects the ambient temperature. Calculations are made based on the results of the finite element method, combined with the corresponding theoretical formulas. It is calculated that the temperature coefficient of resistance is 0.0316/° C in the temperature range of -18~80 ° C, and the nonlinearity is 1.36%. There results conclude that the relationship between temperature and resistance is proportional. This lays a theoretical foundation for the optimisation of subsequent structural studies of flexible temperature sensors. It facilitates further performance enhancement in subsequent research. This promotes the research progress in related fields.
