Cost Effective Soft Material Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth (CTD) Sensors
Abstract
Cost Effective Soft Material Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth (CTD) Sensors""The goal of this research is to develop a low cost" effective soft material CTD sensor that does not need pressure chambers and seals, and we will focus on the development of pressure and salinity sensing. Compared to existing CTD sensors, our solution does not require the use of pressure chambers and seals. The data communication systems developed will also be adapted to this new sensor system. The key to ensure the performance of such a system is the adequate adhesion between electronics and soft elastomer surface. We will use the surface functionalization technology that the PI developed [1] in prior work based on mercaptosiloxanes. Such coupling agents, once optimized, have excellent interface adhe"sion between the soft polymer matrix and theelectronics.
