Description
Summary:This paper reports progress in sensor fabrication by the conductive lithographic film (CLF) printing process.Work describing strain-sensitive structures manufactured using a modified printing process and conductive inks is addressed. The performance of a “single-ink” strain-sensitive structure when printed on six alternative substrates (GlossArt, PolyArt, Teslin, Mylar C, Melinex, and Kapton) is analyzed. Though not intending to compete with conventional gauges in high-tolerance measurement, the structures exhibit properties that indicate suitability for novel applications.
