Abstract

Piezorcsistive properties have important sensor applications. In this study we find that several ion implanted polymers exhibit piezorcsistive properties. Piezoresistive gauge factors of these films are found to be significantly greater than those of metals, however smaller than those of semiconductors. Potential advantages of using the piezorcsistive properties of these films are also discussed.
