Poly (3, 4-Ethylenedioxythiophene) - Poly (4-Styrenesulfonate) for Humidity Sensing Using Ink-jet Printing Technique on Flexible Polyimide Substrate

A fully reversible and repeatable flexible capacitive humidity sensor is realized from design concept to reality via an ink-jet deposition system. The humidity sensor is ink-jet fabricated with aqueous Poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene) - poly (4-styrenesulfonate), PEDOT: PSS ink and Toluene suspend...
