Abstract
A printed temperature sensor () comprising a substrate () with an electrical circuit () comprising a pair of electrodes () separated by an electrode gap (G). A sensor material () is disposed between the electrodes () to fill the electrode gap (G), wherein the sensor material () comprises semi-conducting micro-particles () comprising an NTC material with a negative temperature coefficient (NTC), wherein the micro-particles () are mixed in a dielectric matrix () functioning as a binder for printing the sensor material (); wherein the micro-particles () contact each other to form an interconnected network through the dielectric matrix (), wherein the interconnected network of micro-particles () acts as a conductive pathway with negative temperature coefficient between the electrodes ().
