Title:Integration of printed PVDF-based force sensors into a printed circuit board stackAuthor(s):Sebastian Lang,  Wolfgang Hilber,  Herbert Enser,  Bernhard JakobyAbstract:This work reports on the fabrication and testing of force sensors integrated directly into a printed circuit board (PCB). For this purpose a layer of poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylen) (P(VDF-TrFE)) is printed onto two pieces of two two-layer PCBs which are then stacked together to create a four-layer PCB. The devised and fabricated sensor with the described measurement setup features a nearly linear measurement characteristic in the range between 0.3 and 1.2N and a detection limit of approximately 10mN.Booktitle:Proc. of Eurosensors 2023Page Reference:2 page(s)Publishing:9/2023
