In recent years, multi-modal flexible tactile sensors have become an important direction in the development of electronic skin because of their excellent sensitivity, flexibility and wearable properties. In this work, a humidity-pressure multi-modal flexible sensor based on polypyrrole (PPy)/Ti3C2Tx sensitive film packaged with porous polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is investigated by combining the sensitive structure generation mechanism of in situ polymerization to achieve the simultaneous detection of humidity and pressure, which has a sensitivity of 89,113.4 Ω/% RH in a large humidity range of 0%–97% RH, and response/recovery time of 2.5/1.9 s. The tactile pressure sensing has a high sensitivity, a fast response of 67/52 ms, and a wide detection limit. The device also has excellent performance in terms of stability and repeatability, making it promising for respiratory pattern and motion detection. This work provides a new solution to address the construction of multi-modal tactile sensors with potential applications in the fields of medical health, epidemic prevention.
