Abstract

In this research, a capacitive pressure sensor (Piezocapacitive Sensor) was fabricated using carbon black powder containing poly-dimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with micro-grid patterned surface. To investigate the effect of carbon black powder and micro-grid pattern on the sensor's performance, various sensors were fabricated with different carbon black powder concentration and grid pattern density. The performances of the developed sensors were compared in terms of operating range and sensitivity.

이 연구에서는 마이크로 그리드 패턴 표면을 갖는 탄소 분말이 첨가된 Poly-dimethylsiloxane (PDMS)를 사용하여 전기용량형 압력센서(Piezocapacitive Sensor)를 제작하였다. 탄소 분말과 그리드 패턴이 센서의 성능에 미치는 효과를 알아보기 위해 탄소 분말의 농도와 그리드 패턴의 밀도를 달리하여 여러 개의 센서를 제작하였다. 센서의 작동 범위와 민감도를 척도로 센서의 성능을 비교하였다.
