| description | Polymeric rubber and organic semiconductor H<sub>2</sub>Pc-CNT-composite-based surface- and sandwich-type shockproof deformable infrared radiation (IR) sensors were fabricated using a rubbing-in technique. CNT and CNT-H<sub>2</sub>Pc (30:70 wt.%) composite layers were deposited on a polymeric rubber substrate as electrodes and active layers, respectively. Under the effect of IR irradiation (0 to 3700 W/m<sup>2</sup>), the resistance and the impedance of the surface-type sensors decreased up to 1.49 and 1.36 times, respectively. In the same conditions, the resistance and the impedance of the sandwich-type sensors decreased up to 1.46 and 1.35 times, respectively. The temperature coefficients of resistance (<i>TCR</i>) of the surface- and sandwich-type sensors are 1.2 and 1.1, respectively. The novel ratio of the H<sub>2</sub>Pc-CNT composite ingredients and comparably high value of the <i>TCR</i> make the devices attractive for bolometric applications meant to measure the intensity of infrared radiation. Moreover, given their easy fabrication and low-cost materials, the fabricated devices have great potential for commercialization. |
