High sensitive pressure sensors based on multiple coating technique*

Abstract

A multi-coating technique of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) was proposed to increase the sensitivity of paper-based pressure sensors. The maximum sensitivity of 17.6 kPa−1 under the 1.4 kPa was achieved. The electrical sensing mechanism is attributed to the percolation effect. Such paper pressure sensors were applied to monitor the motor vibration, which indicates the potential of mechanical flaw detection by analyzing the waveform difference.
