Abstract

The use of polymer thick‐film technology for the implementation of piezoelectric sensors opens up the way towards the low‐cost production of piezoelectric sensing devices. A novel polymer thick‐film piezoelectric paste is presented and compared with other piezoelectric materials. The main advantages of these films are the low processing temperature, their flexibility and the ease of creating patterns with feature sizes as small as 200μm. Various applications are proposed demonstrating the potential of these screen printable polymer piezoelectrics.
