Abstract
We present an inexpensive flexible Ag+ sensor on a paper substrate that can be embedded into commercial silver dressings to enable real-time monitoring of the Ag+ concentration in situ. The sensor consists of a silver measuring electrode and a Ag/AgCl reference electrode screen-printed on a laser-machined parchment paper substrate; the reference electrode is covered with PDMS chambers of KCl and KNO3 to form a double-junction electrode. The fabrication features layerby-layer assembly with no need for expensive cleanroom processes. Experiments in aqueous solutions of various concentrations of AgNO3 show a generated potential that is linear (r2=0.9752) with log[Ag+] and has a sensitivity of 62 mV/decade.
