This project investigates the feasibility of developing a highly accurate, low-cost polymer sensor utilizing the piezoelectric properties of PVDF combined with a diaphragm and/or other force sensitive structure to produce a pressure sensor. The polymer sensor will be easily adapted to commercial and general-aviation aircraft for sensors utilized in smart angle-of-attack and angle-of-sideslip measurements.
Potential Commercial Applications: Applications cross industry lines. Pressure measurements must be made in most industrial processes.STATUS: Phase I Only-
