Three representative porous binders were investigated: polymer-ceramic PSP (PC-PSP), anodized-aluminum PSP (AA-PSP), and thin-layer chromatography PSP (TLC-PSP). For each PSP, two types of luminophores, Pt(II) meso-tetra (pentafluorophenyl) porphine (PtTFPP) and tris(bathophenanthroline) ruthenium dichloride (Ru(dpp)3), were used as sensor molecules. Pressure sensitivities, temperature sensitivities, and photodegradation rates were measured and evaluated using a pressure chamber. The effect of ambient pressure on the frequency response was investigated using an acoustic resonance tube. The diffusivity coefficients of PSPs were estimated from the measured frequency response and luminescent lifetime, and the governing factor of the frequency response under low-pressure conditions was identified. The results of static calibration show that PC-PSP\/PtTFPP, AA-PSP\/Ru(dpp)3, and TLC-PSP\/PtTFPP have high pressure sensitivities that exceed 4%\/kPa under low-pressure conditions and that temperature sensitivity and photodegradation rates become lower as the ambient pressure decreases. Dynamic calibration results show that the dynamic characteristics of PSPs with PtTFPP are dependent on the ambient pressure, whereas those of PSPs with Ru(dpp)3 are not influenced by the ambient pressure. This observation indicates that the governing factor in the frequency response under low-pressure conditions is the lifetime for PC-PSP and TLC-PSP, whereas the governing factor for AA-PSP is diffusion.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21093187","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,5]],"date-time":"2021-05-05T22:51:42Z","timestamp":1620255102000},"page":"3187","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Frequency Response of Pressure-Sensitive Paints under Low-Pressure Conditions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4390-781X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miku","family":"Kasai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Aerospace Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, Tohoku University, 6-6-01 Aramakiaza-Aoba, Aoba-ku, Sendai, Miyagi 980-8579, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0961-3826","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daisuke","family":"Sasaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Aerospace Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, Tohoku University, 6-6-01 Aramakiaza-Aoba, Aoba-ku, Sendai, Miyagi 980-8579, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3644-4888","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Takayuki","family":"Nagata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Aerospace Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, Tohoku University, 6-6-01 Aramakiaza-Aoba, Aoba-ku, Sendai, Miyagi 980-8579, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7739-7104","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Taku","family":"Nonomura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Aerospace Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, Tohoku University, 6-6-01 Aramakiaza-Aoba, Aoba-ku, Sendai, Miyagi 980-8579, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9330-4972","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Keisuke","family":"Asai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Aerospace Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, Tohoku University, 6-6-01 Aramakiaza-Aoba, Aoba-ku, Sendai, Miyagi 980-8579, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Barlow, J.B., Rae, W.H., and Pope, A.
