%0 Journal Article %T Pressure-Sensitive Paint: Effect of Substrate %A Mark Kenneth Quinn %A Leichao Yang %A Konstantinos Kontis %J Sensors %D 2011 %I MDPI AG %R 10.3390/s111211649 %X There are numerous ways in which pressure-sensitive paint can be applied to a surface. The choice of substrate and application method can greatly affect the results obtained. The current study examines the different methods of applying pressure-sensitive paint to a surface. One polymer-based and two porous substrates (anodized aluminum and thin-layer chromatography plates) are investigated and compared for luminescent output, pressure sensitivity, temperature sensitivity and photodegradation. Two luminophores [tris-Bathophenanthroline Ruthenium(II) Perchlorate and Platinum-tetrakis (pentafluorophenyl) Porphyrin] will also be compared in all three of the substrates. The results show the applicability of the different substrates and luminophores to different testing environments. %K pressure-sensitive paint %K PSP %K AA-PSP %K TLC %K substrate %K sensitivity %K photodegradation %U http://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/11/12/11649
