The technology leverages water-based and biocompatible inks to fabricate strain measurement devices on flexible substrates such as paper. We demonstrate that the device performance and sensitivity are strongly dependent on the printing parameter (i.e., drop-spacing, number of printing passes, etc.). We show that values of the Gauge Factor up to 125 can be obtained, with large sensitivity (>20) even when small strains (0.3) are applied. Furthermore, we provide preliminary examples of heterostructure-based strain sensors, enabled by the inkjet printing technology. date: 2018 date_type: published publication: Carbon volume: 129 publisher: Elsevier pagerange: 462-467 id_number: 10.1016/j.carbon.2017.12.030 refereed: TRUE issn: 0008-6223 official_url: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0008622317312630 related_url_url: https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1708/1708.09829.pdf citation: Casiraghi, C. and Macucci, M. and Parvez, K. and Worsley, R. and Shin, Y. and Bronte, F. and Borri, Claudia and Paggi, Marco and Fiori, G.
