Abstract

An all-organic Bacterial Cellulose (BC)-PEDOT:PSS composite, impregnated by Ionic Liquids (ILs), working as a vibrating transducer, in cantilever configuration, is here investigated as sensing element. The generating properties of the composite will be presented, demonstrating the possibility of motion measuring. The sensing system is based on cheap, flexible, biodegradable and ecofriendly materials, suitable for the realization of next to come smart ubiquitous sensing systems. The performance of the sensing system are described in the following.
