In this paper, we fabricate arrayed-type flexible capacitive touch sensor using liquid metal (LM) droplets (4 mm spatial resolution). Poly-4-vinylphenol (PVP) layer is used as a dielectric layer on the electrode patterned Polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) film. Bonding tests between hydroxyl group (-OH) on the PVP film and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) are conducted in a various O2 plasma treatment conditions. Through the tests, we can confirm that non-O2 plasma treated PVP layer and O2 plasma treated PDMS can make a chemical bond. To measure dynamic range of the device, one-cell experiments are conducted and we confirmed that the fabricated device has a large dynamic range (~60 pF).

In this study, an experimental research is conducted to determine the influence of field conditions on the soil dielectric constant in order to evaluate the feasibility of using TDR method as a cavity exploration. Dielectric constant of the ground considering field conditions(e.g. casing and ground disturbance) was measured using TDR method. The results conclude that the dielectric constant of ground tended to decrease with the increase in the water contents and density.
