Fabrication and Characterization of Flex Sensors

该项目是艾伯塔大学伊莱亚斯研究小组和C-Therm技术有限公司之间合作的延续，该合作由NSERC Engage Grant启动。C-Therm是一家加拿大公司**，设计、制造和分销热分析设备。在过去的5个月里，伊莱亚斯实验室**一直在开发一种制造方案，以设计用于热分析的柔性传感器。这些**器件的设计是由C-Therm利用模拟方法提出的。伊莱亚斯团队一直致力于**使用微制造技术实现这一设计。这一进程的发展包括**许多材料方面的挑战。在拟议的项目扩展中，我们将实施新一代**设备设计，并继续解决围绕组成设备的每种材料的挑战。**原型将按设计制造，并对其性能进行表征。

This project is a continuation of a collaboration between the Elias Research Group at the University of Alberta**and C-Therm Technologies Ltd., started through an NSERC Engage Grant. C-Therm is a Canadian company**which designs, manufactures, and distributes thermal analysis equipment. Over the past 5 months the Elias lab**has been developing a fabrication protocol to engineer flexible sensors for thermal analysis. The design of these**devices was proposed by C-Therm utilizing simulation methods. The Elias group has been working to**implement this design using microfabrication techniques. The development of this process has included**numerous materials challenges. In the proposed project extension, we will implement a new generation of**device design, and continue to address challenges surrounding each of the materials that comprise the device.**Prototypes will be fabricated as designed and their performance characterized.
