The facile and rapid fabrication of oriented porous polymers is crucial for flexible pressure sensors. Herein, we develop a pressure sensor based on oriented porous PDMS composites for detecting human motion and identifying joint motion patterns. The oriented porous PDMS composite was first constructed through thiol-ene click chemistry and directional freezing within only 30 min, then fabricated by interfacial in-situ polymerization of dopamine and pyrrole to generate robust interfaces. As a result, the as-prepared oriented porous PDMS composite is assembled into a pressure sensor that shows potential applications in pressure and human motion detection. Interestingly, a sensor assembled by orthogonally stacking the PDMS composites can be used for joint motion pattern recognition with potential monitoring of football motion due to their directional structures. This facile strategy coupled with the oriented porous structure is expected to help design advanced wearable electronic devices. This article is protected by copyright.
