Abstract

In this work, we design, fabricate and experimentally characterize a fully inkjet-printed piezoelectric sensor tailored for applications requiring significant deformations. In particular, inkjet-printed silver layers constitute the top and bottom electrodes, while a P(VDF-TrFE) layer is employed as active material. Cycling loading tests consisting in a controlled bending of the sensor in the range 0°- 90° are finally performed and an output signal of 0.5 V is measured, thus demonstrating the correct functioning of the sensor and the reliability of the proposed manufacturing process.
