摘要
A process is presented for screen printing of an electrically conductive coating on elastic polymer films to produce strain gauges capable of measuring large reversible deformations, suitable for use in the medical industry or for the next generation of industrial robots. The manufacturing process includes cyclical deformation of the film, film stretching before printing, and film stretching during conductive liquid application. Film stretching by specialized printing equipment and application of electrically conductive liquid are described, and performance comparison of strain gauges is provided.
