Development of a cross-linkable, EDOT-based conjugated polymer for stable temperature sensors

Abstract

We report the synthesis of a cross-linkable conjugated polymer for the fabrication of stable temperature sensors. This new water-processable polymer possesses a temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of -1.66 % °C-1 between -20 °C and 50 °C and presents a stable temperature dependence even at temperatures below the freezing point and with high humidity levels.
