Piezoresistivity in ion implanted polymer films

Abstract

Piezoresistive properties have important sensor applications. In this study we find that several ion implanted polymers exhibit piezoresistive properties. Piezoresistive gauge factors of these films are found to be significantly greater than those of metals, however smaller than those of semiconductors. Potential advantages of using the piezoresistive properties of these films are also discussed.
