PrInted gRAphene ThermocouplE for the IoTs

Accurate real-time temperature measurement is very important in many applications.

In particular, contact-type temperature sensors for nano or microscope measurement of temperature are expected to strongly rise in the next future due to their use in wearables, smartphones, and other consumer electronics devices.

However, the development of sensitive and localised temperature sensor is a strong technical challenge, in particular when coupled with flexible substrates, such as those used for packaging and wearables, and the reduced manufacturing cost required for a sensor to be commercially suitable for many IoT applications.

The aim of this project is to develop a printed thermocouple made of carbon-based inks, offering accurate temperature measurements as well as better sustainability and biocompatibility, compared to existing solutions.
