Abstract

The disadvantage of using a typical temperature sensor is limited depending on the shape of the model to be measured. If the shape is curved, it is not easy to check the surface temperature. A smart paint for temperature measurement is proposed to overcome this disadvantage. Polymer solutions were prepared with a dispersion of materials and viscosity with the properties of paint forms. The smart paints showed various sensing characteristics depending on the amount of materials. In addition, it was analyzed through the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) that sliver particles are disposed around the ceramic particles to have electrical conductivity. This study optimized the proportion of ceramics added to smart paints so that they could overcome the limitations of PTC thermistors that can only identify specific temperatures. Therefore, the developed paint-type temperature sensor makes it easy to measure the temperature of various models.
