Popis: This work deals with the realization of a fully printed thermocouple-array on a flexible substrate for condition monitoring applications. The thermocouple-array consisting of carbon black and silver was fabricated on PET-foil in a screen printing process and characterized up to a junction temperature of 150 °C. To ensure that no spurious voltages of the thermocouple occur due to deformations of the flexible substrate, the cross-sensitivity to deformation of the foil was investigated as well. Finally, as a test case, the temperature gradient of a plastic bar heated on a single end was measured with the thermocouple-array.
