A highly sensitive and tailorable pressure sensor is designed based on the variation of contact resistance between an Au covered micropillar array and a conductive polymer film. The sensitivity of such pressure sensors can be tuned from 0.03 kPa−1 to 17 kPa−1 at pressures less than 1 kPa, and a limit of detection of 2 Pa has been demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
