Produktbeschreibung

Almost every area of our day-to-day life involves the presence of sensors in some way, often without our noticing. Their presence has not only eased our lives but also allowed humanity to progress on a technological scale. Among the various sensors that are currently available, flexible sensors have been able to perform in more dynamic manner compared to conventional MEMS-based silicon sensors. The unique features of printed flexible sensors have enabled them to be successfully exploited in many fields, especially for biomedical, industrial, and environmental applications. Fabricated using a range of printing techniques, each of which has the capability to form high-quality thin-film sensors, the choice of the printing technique primarily decides on the specifications of the sensors, which in turn depends on their applications.

This book reviews and showcases the design, fabrication and implementation of printed and flexible sensors and their range of applications. Since the use of flexible sensors has been demonstrated in almost every sector researchers are working both towards optimization of present technologies and the implementation of new approaches, especially in light of developments emerging in printed and flexible electronics research. Some of the common issues faced and discussed include sensor stability in dynamic environments, non-availability of point-of-care devices, multifunctional sensing prototypes, requirement of high input power, saturation of sensitivity, difficulty in replacement of sensors operating in harsh real-time environments and need of biocompatible sensors for health monitoring.
