The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The effect of water and salt solution on piezoelectric paint was investigated. The change in the piezoelectric constant, a measure of sensitivity, was monitored as a function of time during drying out. Vibration sensors made from piezoelectric paint that were immersed in salt solution were found to recover functionality after a period of drying out. The initial sensitivity was greater than that prior to immersion and the enhancement was greater when salt solution was used instead of water.
