Abstract:

	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 Application:

Potential Commercial Applications: Applications cross industry lines. Pressure measurements
must be made in most industrial processes.
