壓力感測在各領域上被廣泛使用，如醫學上用於足壓量測、關節壓力分析、義肢配合、牙齒咬合等…方面，由壓力分布量測，可提供醫師指標，協助病患矯正不良姿勢；工業上應用於輪圈和輪胎之壓力分布量測，經由壓力分布量測可以改善輪胎和輪圈之最佳化設計；也可用於機台壓力分布量測，藉由壓力分布量測可協助校正機台；在電子構裝散熱上，接觸面積大小是一個重要因素，透過壓力分布量測，可以觀測散熱模組與熱源是否有密合接觸，做為平整度分析之參考數據，以此改善散熱模組效率。
傳統壓力感測器造價昂貴且不易大面積製作，高分子材料具備容易加工、價格便宜、環境容忍度佳，本實驗遂以全高分子聚合物為材料，設計出一具備壓阻特性之壓阻式壓力感測器；該感測器為一三明治結構之感測器，由上、下電極和中間之可變電阻層所構成，可變電阻層具備孔洞性結構，當壓力感測器受壓時，可變電阻層受到壓縮，感測器之電阻變小，而當壓力釋放時可變電阻層恢復原狀，感測器之電阻值變大。
本實驗以一定壓壓力裝置對壓力感測器進行性能測試，測試方式以24.2(kN/m2)為一壓力單位，逐漸增大施加壓力至145.2(kN/m2)，同時以三用電錶量測壓力感測器之電阻值，以此觀察壓力感測器之壓阻特性；實驗結果顯示吾人成功設計出全高分子聚合物壓力感測器，該感測器具備〝電阻值隨施加壓力增大而漸小〞之壓阻特性。
