Polyimides are widely used in the MEMS and flexible electronics fields due to their combined physicochemical properties, including high thermal stability, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance values. In the past decade, rapid progress has been made in the microfabrication of polyimides. However, enabling technologies, such as laser-induced graphene on polyimide, photosensitive polyimide micropatterning, and 3D polyimide microstructure assembly, have not been reviewed from the perspective of polyimide microfabrication. The aims of this review are to systematically discuss polyimide microfabrication techniques, which cover film formation, material conversion, micropatterning, 3D microfabrication, and their applications. With an emphasis on polyimide-based flexible MEMS devices, we discuss the remaining technological challenges in polyimide fabrication and possible technological innovations in this field.

A flexible flow sensor is proposed to measure the airflow velocity and incident angle. The sensor consists of a polyimide (PI) substrate, a flat cantilever beam and a graphene piezoresistor. The cantilever beam deforms under the action of fluid-structure interaction (FSI), resulting in changes in the resistance of the graphene piezoresistor. The piezoresistor was prepared by spraying coating of graphene inks using a patterned parylene mask and then encapsulated by coating another polyimide layer to form a sandwiched structure. Experimental results indicate that the flow sensor has a wide detection range of flow velocity (0-30 m/s) and incident angle (0-25°), with a high resolution of 0.94 m/s and 0.23°, respectively. Compared with curved cantilever, the flat cantilever achieves higher sensitivity to the incident angle, and smaller disturbance to the flow field. The arrangement of the flow sensors on an airfoil is discussed for estimation of flight parameters.

In our daily life, flexible flow sensors endow us with a ‘sixth sense’ capability, i.e. ‘touch’ the fluids, improving living quality. Although there are kinds of flexible flow sensors developed to implement this capability, they still have insufficient sensitivity and limited intelligent applications in daily life. Biomimetic engineering provides us with a powerful and effective approach to develop highly sensitive and intelligent flow sensing systems served in our life, comparable to that in creatures. Here, in this review, we present a comprehensive review of recent studies on the flexible flow sensors for human intelligent life. Firstly, we briefly introduce the excellent flow sensing systems selected by nature, and typical design strategies of artificial flexible flow sensors. Furthermore, we collect and exhibit kinds of flexible flow sensors and their applications in intelligent and digital life. Finally, we discuss the challenges and future perspectives of the flexible flow sensor for the metaverse applications.
