Abstract :
Thermocouples have been printed using thick-film processes, which demonstrate a repeatable and stable reaction to temperature and a potential difference per degree temperature change comparable to conventional commercial couples. The potential for this novel approach is to offer a rapid, low-cost, low-temperature manufacturing process for electrical temperature monitoring.
