Pressure-Induced Flexible Sensors : Fabrication, Characterization and Application

This book covers fabrication and implementation of pressure-induced flexible sensors across healthcare, industrial, and environmental sectors. It explores piezoresistive, piezoelectric, capacitive, and triboelectric technologies, plus multimodal and biodegradable sensing for graduate students and researchers.

Pressure sensors have become a pivotal part of sensing technology due to their high accuracy, low power consumption and low response time to detect the amount of force/pressure needed to conduct an operation. Pressure induced Flexible Sensors: Fabrication Characterization and Application highlights the research done on the fabrication and implementation of different pressure-induced flexible sensors. It provides a detailed overview of the different types of pressure sensors used in healthcare, industrial and environmental sectors. It encompasses the entire spectrum from fabrication to application of the pressure sensors used in the current scenario. The book categorizes the sensors by their operating mechanisms and practical uses, with clear explanations of key working principles including piezoresistive, piezoelectric, capacitive, and triboelectric technologies. The also authors showcase breakthrough developments in multimodal and biodegradable sensing, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in sensor design. Finally, the challenges and remedies of current pressure sensors are examined and explained. This book is aimed at graduate level students and researchers in the fields of electrical engineering and materials science engineering who are interested in the development of sensor technology for industrial, biomedical, and related applications.
