| Abstract: The sensitivity of a chemiresistor sensor can be dynamically tuned using
mechanical strain. The increase in sensitivity is a smooth, continuous
function of the applied strain, and the effect can be reversible.
Sensitivity tuning enables the response curve of the sensor to be
dynamically optimized for sensing analytes, such as volatile organic
compounds, over a wide concentration range. |
