Abstract
A method of making an imprinted electronic sensor structure on a substrate for sensing an environmental factor includes coating, imprinting, and curing a curable layer on the substrate to form a plurality of spatially separated micro-channels extending from the layer surface into the cured layer. First and second layers are located in each micro-channel to form a multi-layer micro-wire. Either the first layer is a cured electrical conductor forming a conductive layer located only within the micro-channel and the second layer is a reactive layer or the first layer is a reactive layer and the second layer is a cured electrical conductor forming a conductive layer located only within the micro-channel. The reactive layer is exposed to the environmental factor and at least a portion of the reactive layer responds to the environmental factor.
