Abstract
In this study, a miniaturized thermistor sensor was produced using the Aerosol Jet printing process for temperature sensing applications. A nickel oxide nanoparticle ink with a large temperature coefficient of resistance was fabricated. The thermistor was printed with a circular NiO thin film in between the two parallel silver conductive tracks on a cutting tool insert. The printed thermistor, which has an adjustable dimension with a submillimeter scale, operates over a range of 30–250 °C sensitively (B value of ~4310 K) without hysteretic effects. Moreover, the thermistor may be printed on a 3D surface through the Aerosol Jet printing process, which has increased capability for wide temperature-sensing applications.

Summary
Temperature sensors are useful for sensing measurements in many dynamic applications, such as IC chips [1] and manufacturing processing [2]. Compared to commercial temperature sensors, printed sensors are more advantageous because they fit the surface topography of measurement situations, demand less space for installation, and may use a wider range of substrates. Using printing technologies allows for even more sensing applications, enabling sensors to be printed on flexible polyimide foil, injection molded devices, and PCB [3]. Printed technology is easier to make temperature sensing arrays and is capable of measuring the temperature distribution of a system rather than its average temperature. Turning inserts are the cutting tools that turning processes use to remove material from workpieces [4]
