Conformable Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Thin Film Strain Sensors for Structural Monitoring

The need for monitoring the condition of large-scale infrastructure systems has motivated a recent interest in novel sensor technologies for structural health monitoring. To provide the structural health monitoring system with data that captures local structural behavior, the measurement of component-level strain is valuable. Although current foil-based strain gauges are capable of measuring st...

Integrated ultra-thin-film gas sensors

The fabrication and performance of an ultra-thin-film integrated gas sensor for detecting impurities in semiconductor process gases are described. Detector responses are based on gas-induced resistance changes in an ultra-thin Ti-P film mounted on a thin dielectric window supported by a silicon rim. The window temperature can be shifted several hundred degrees Celsius in less than one second. G...

Organic Thin-Film Transistor (OTFT)-Based Sensors

Organic thin film transistors have been a popular research topic in recent decades and have found applications from flexible displays to disposable sensors. In this review, we present an overview of some notable articles reporting sensing applications for organic transistors with a focus on the most recent publications. In particular, we concentrate on three main types of organic transistor-bas...
