False Piezoresistive Effect Detection [PDF]
Possibility of the use commercial carbon-polymer pastes for preparation thick-film resistors for linear strain sensors application was tested. The research showed that the polymer thick-film resistors are characterized by the piezoresistive effect up to 2% strain. For higher strain small cracks appeared in the resistive film.
