In this work, the mixture poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) with monobasic potassium phosphate (KDP), a piezoelectric salt, was studied as a novel material in the fabrication of a low cost, easy-to-make, flexible pressure sensing device. Firstly a theoretical study was carried out, followed by an experimental study where the mixture PEDOT:PSS and KDP was deposited in a flexible polyester substrate and dried. Afterwards, XRD analysis and impulse voltage measures were performed. The results showed that the KDP does not react chemically with PEDOT:PSS and this mixture acts directly responding to the pressure applied on the sample.
⺠We studied the mixture PEDOT:PSS with KDP for a flexible pressure sensing device. ⺠Theoretical studies showed no chemical reaction within the components of the mixture. ⺠XRD studies indicated the growing of KDP structures when the mixture is dried. ⺠Stress experiments indicated that the studied material reacts to applied pressure.
