Recent Advances in Printed Sensors on Foil

In this review paper, we summarise the status and trends in the research and development of printed sensors on foil substrates. Our focus includes sensor technologies that have some of their elements printed with a special interest for fully printed structures. The paper reviews the two large physical and chemical sensor families addressing different transduction principles. The paper concludes with a short notice on status and perspectives in the field with some words on the commercial maturity and trends of printed sensors on foil.
