Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="smll201303601-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A highly sensitive and tailorable pressure sensor</bold> is designed based on the variation of contact resistance between an Au covered micropillar array and a conductive polymer film. The sensitivity of such pressure sensors can be tuned from 0.03 kPa⁻¹ to 17 kPa⁻¹ at pressures less than 1 kPa, and a limit of detection of 2 Pa has been demonstrated. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg59wfcb4d" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
