A microfluidic flow sensor based on aligned polyvinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene P(VDF-TrFE) piezoelectric nanofibers has been developed, which can be used for real-time detection of low flow rate and viscosity in microchannels. The detection principle dependence of voltage drop output by nanofibers while sensing pressure drop along the microchannel. Due to the high sensitivity of nanofibers, this sensor responded linearly to low flow rates ranging from 13 µl/h to 451 µl/h, and viscosities of ethylene glycol aqueous solution ranging from 1 mPa•S to 16.1 mPa•S at 25℃, respectively. These findings highlight the potential of P(VDF-TrFE) nanofibers in multifunctional sensors.
Keywords:piezoelectric; P(VDF-TrFE); nanofibers; flow sensor
