Investigation And Characterization Of Electrolyte For Fluidic Based Pressure Sensor

Methanol was used as an electrolyte for one-side-electrode-type proposed by Norzaidi et al (2015). Methanol was easily evaporated and affects the operation and response time of pressure sensor. The objectives of this research are to investigate, characterize and select the best electrolyte for press...
