Characterization and modeling of conjugated polymer sensors

Abstract: In this paper the behavior of conjugated polymers as mechanical sensors is experimentally characterized and modeled. A trilayer conjugated polymer sensor is considered, where two polypyrrole (PPy) layers sandwich an amorphous polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) layer, with the latter serving as an electrolyte tank. A theory for the sensing mechanism is proposed by postulating that, through its influence on the pore structure, mechanical deformation correlates directly to the concentration of ions at the PPy/PVDF in… Show more
