Abstract Scope |
Flexible sensors are becoming increasingly important in the advancement of various applications, ranging from wearable electronics and human-machine interfaces to the Internet of Things (IoT). These devices, however, often require the capability to simultaneously monitor multiple parameters such as strain and temperature, which poses a significant challenge in terms of material choices and fabrication processes. This paper presents the design, fabrication, and characterization of a novel, multifunctional, and flexible sensor made from 3D-printed poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) composites. The sensor's strain and temperature sensing properties were studied independently, followed by the evaluation of their simultaneous sensing capabilities. The additive manufacturing approach, employing direct ink writing, enabled precise control over the sensor architecture, thereby enabling the integration of multifunctional sensing capabilities. This research contributes to the growing field of flexible electronic devices and has potential implications for wearable technology and IoT applications, where simultaneous strain and temperature monitoring are crucial. |
