Abstract
A structure is provided having a substrate and a direct write deposited lead zirconate titanate (PZT) nanoparticle ink based piezoelectric sensor assembly deposited on the substrate. The PZT nanoparticle ink based piezoelectric sensor assembly has a PZT nanoparticle ink based piezoelectric sensor with a PZT nanoparticle ink deposited onto the substrate via an ink deposition direct write printing process. The PZT nanoparticle ink does not require a high temperature sintering/crystallization process once deposited. The PZT nanoparticle ink based piezoelectric sensor assembly further has a power and communication wire assembly coupled to the PZT nanoparticle ink based piezoelectric sensor. The power and communication wire assembly has a conductive ink deposited onto the substrate via the ink deposition direct write printing process.
