• How conductive polymer material works (electrically and mechanically) to enable its use as a precise measurement sensor, including technology strengths and limitations.
• The degree to which conductive polymer sensors can be machined, molded, or thermoformed to measure pressure distribution on 3-D surfaces (something difficult to impossible for previous technology).
• Where conductive polymer sensors can used in harsh environments corresponding to the polymers used and the environment variables.
• How conductive polymer sensors work electrically and how they can be used as a low-power option in battery/wireless applications.
• How conductive polymer sensors may be adaptable as a component to your devices and/or applications.
