Title
Modification of printed wearable strain sensors by PTF ink particle content adjustment
Abstract
Silver ink conductors and passive ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) tags were printed by the screen printing method on stretchable PVC substrate. Two inks with different particle content were used. We investigated the electrical performance of the conductors in unloaded conditions and during straining with resistance measurement. The printed RFID tags were characterized in similar circumstances through wireless tag measurements. The goal of the study was to evaluate the usability of printed conductors and RFID tags as strain sensors and to find out, if it is possible to modify their strain sensitivity by adjusting the ink particle content. The results showed that the particle content could be used to modify the strain sensors based on printed conductors and RFID tags. Both structures offer various possibilities for applications, such as monitoring of human bodily functions and movements.
