Simple RC low pass filter circuit fabricated by unmodified desktop inkjet printer

In this work, we present resistor-capacitor circuit (RC circuit) or simple RC low pass filter circuit was fabricated by using simple inkjet printing technique. A conductive polymer, Poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly-styrene-sulfonic acid (PEDOT/PSS) was used as a resistive component and electrode material for the capacitor. Commercially available Ethyl-2-cyanoacrylate was applied as the dielectric of the capacitor. The device was inkjet printed by using a normal desktop printer CANON IP 4500. It was shown that the cut-off frequency of the device could be tuned to 10 kHz. The finding indicate the practical use of PEDOT/PSS RC low pass filter in flex sensor.
