Abstract :
The impact of thick-film technology on the development of new, inexpensive, robust and miniaturised sensors is discussed in the light of new designs and results by the authors and others. The three aspects covered are the realisation of electronic systems within sensors, the provision of support structures for sensor materials and the development of new primary sensors in the form of strain gauges.
