“…The sensor response was 22 mV/g at 20 Hz and 42 mV/g at 45 Hz. Despite the interesting characteristics of this prototype, they redesigned the layout to enhance the performance of the accelerometer whose response was penalized by the rigid architecture sustaining the suspended plate [108]. This new accelerometer works up to 20 Hz with a flat response, which is the typical range in the field of seismic and human activity monitoring, thanks to the realization of both the membrane and the supporting springs by the flexible PET substrate.…”

“…The use of low cost inkjet printing equipment has been recently introduced as a valuable solution to develop simple devices, exploiting metal inks and a restricted variety of polymers, especially for proof-of-concept tasks [24][25][26][27][28]. Mixed solutions, exploiting screen printing and inkjet technologies, are also available in the literature [29][30][31].…”

The use of inexpensive gas sensors is a real need for many applications requiring the use of disposable sensors. This work deals with the realization and characterization of a low cost CO2 sensor realized by rapid prototyping techniques. In particular, the sensor consists of a set of InterDigiTed electrodes, over which a double sensing layer made of PEDOT/PSS (CLEVIOS™ PHCV4, by H.C.Starck) and a solution of pristine graphene powder has been deposited. A silver nano-particle solution is used for inkjet printing the electrodes onto the PET (PolyEthylene Terephthalate) substrate, through a commercial inkjet printer. The sensing strategy is based on the variation of the electrical conductance of graphene due to gas molecules adsorption. The device responsivity observed in two different operating conditions (50 °C and 60 °C), is 4.0 µΩ/Ω/ppm and 4.7 µΩ/Ω/ppm. The corresponding values of the resolution are 400 ppm and 420 ppm. Main advantages of the developed sensor consist in the cost-effective fabrication techniques and the device flexibility, which are strategic for applications requiring disposable and shapeable devices to be installed into irregular surfaces.

This paper presents the realization and the experimental characterization of a low cost inkjet-printed DC magnetic field sensor. The device consists of a thin flexible cantilever beam operated at its first resonance frequency by the interaction between the target magnetic field and an AC current flowing through a coil printed on the beam. A resistive readout strategy is implemented by a printed strain gauge to measure the beam deflection strength, which is correlated to the target field strength. A dedicated electronics is used for the sake of the sensor operation. The sensor behaviour has been investigated for different values of the driving current and the target magnetic field. As an example, the sensor responsivity and resolution for a driving current of 20 mA @ 9.1 Hz (the beam resonance frequency) are 0.009 Ω/Ω/T and 1.2 mT, respectively.
