There is an increasing demand for high-precision and high-sensitivity flexible pressure sensors. In response to this demand, a novel flexible pressure sensor with a symmetrical structure composed of MoS2 and PDMS is designed in this paper. Simulation is conducted on the designed flexible pressure sensor. Its piezoresistive effect is analyzed, and the influence of the cavity structure on its sensitivity is investigated. Additionally, a fully symmetrical Wheatstone bridge composed of the flexible pressure sensor is designed and simulated. Its symmetrical structure improves the temperature stability and the sensitivity of the sensor. The structure can be used to convert pressure changes into voltage changes conveniently. It indicates that the sensor achieves a sensitivity of 1.13 kPa\u22121 in the micro-pressure range of 0\u201320 kPa, with an output voltage sensitivity of 3.729 V\/kPa. The designed flexible pressure sensor exhibits promising potential for applications in wearable devices and related fields, owing to its high sensitivity and precision.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym16091242","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,23]],"date-time":"2024-09-23T03:36:38Z","timestamp":1727062598000},"page":"1242","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Novel Flexible Pressure Sensor with Symmetrical Structure Based on 2-D MoS2 Material on Polydimethylsiloxane Substrate"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-5682-4888","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shaoxiong","family":"Deng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Integrated Circuits, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Feng","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Integrated Circuits, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mengye","family":"Cai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Integrated Circuits, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5006-5190","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yanfeng","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Integrated Circuits, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1594","DOI":"10.1039\/D1TC05304C","article-title":"Flexible capacitive pressure sensors for wearable electronics","volume":"10","author":"Wang","year":"2022","journal-title":"J.
