PVDF sensors with low-temperature bonding techniques

Webster, S.; Binnie, T.D.

Abstract

The performances of poly-vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) thin-film infrared sensors with alternative bonding methods are presented in comparison with a more established method. A responsivity of 25 V (W cm−2)−1 is achieved using a commercially available acrylic adhesive. This method removes the requirement of raised temperature treatment of the PVDF thin-film material, which is prone to thermal damage at relatively low temperatures.
