Flexible (Kapton-based) Microsensor Arrays of High Stability for Cardiovascular Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The design, fabrication and performance characteristics of Kapton-based planar mini and semimicro potentiometric sensors with an Ag/AgCI or a quinhydrone-based redox internal reference electrode are described. The ion-selective membranes cast from conventional and various modified PVC matrices and containing different pH-sensitive ionophores are ranked on the basis of their performances in hostile environments. The adhesive bonding strength of the different PVC membranes to the polyimide-coated Kapton substrate was quantitatively evaluated as a function of fabrication procedure and sample solution contact. The long-term stability of the electrodes was characterized by the alterations of the analytical parameters of the sensors over a period of time, as well as by determining the resistance changes of their sensing membranes.

Wearable PZT sensors for distributed soft contact sensing (Design and Signal Conditioning Manual)
For any soft wearable device the information about the surrounding environment and interactions is an important performance aspect. A sensor design becomes challenging when the target component has a non-uniform, agile, high resolution, and soft surface. Recent developments in wearable sensor technology have made it possible to embed piezoelectric element (PZT) based sensors, conductive fabrics...
