Prized for their small size and big capabilities, miniature sensors are making their way into everything from wearables and medical devices to factory automation. But they are not just tiny replicas of their bigger counterparts—these mighty workhorses require some special considerations in order to perform as intended in an application. This whitepaper examines three key issues for designing with miniature sensors that can sabotage a design, as even some practiced designers that forgot to take them into account learned the hard way.
 

Learn what porous polymers are, how they are manufactured, and what roles they can play in functional sensor components.
