In this paper, an incontinence glucose sensor is printed with biocompatible ink and Prussian blue as an electron mediator on foil and functionalized with immobilized glucose oxidase. Inkjet printing of multiple layers of Nafion prevents large interference substances from diffusing into the measuring electrode and allows precise adjustment of the linear working range, which is significantly different from blood glucose measurement.

A commonly used environment-friendly conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly (styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) for conductive sensors has a limited conductivity due to its high sheet resistance. A physical treatment performed during the printing process has reduced the sheet resistance of printed PEDOT:PSS on polyethylenterephthalat (PET) substrate from 264.39 Ω/sq to 23.44 Ω/sq. The adhesion bonding force between printed PEDOT:PSS and the substrate PET is increased by using chemical treatment and tested using a newly designed adhesive peeling force test. Using the economical conductive ink PEDOT:PSS with this new physical treatment, our capacitive sensors are cost-efficient and have a sensitivity of up to 1.25 pF/mm.}, language = {en} }
