A customizable solution for your products
We are proud to offer our polymer nanocomposite (PNC) sensor material as an advanced type of sensor technology that combines polymers with nanomaterials to create a highly sensitive and adaptable medium for measuring force. This innovative material leverages the unique properties of nanomaterials, resulting in a composite that exhibits enhanced mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties compared to traditional force sensing materials.
Flexibility
PNC sensor material can be processed in various shapes and sizes to meet specific requirements.
High sensitivity
Developed for accurate measurements even with minimal forces.
adaptability
Ideal for use in a wide range of applications, from automation technology to medical technology.
Durablity
Engineered to withstand harsh conditions while maintaining performance integrity.
Innovative PNC Material core
Specific advantages
Using our proprietary PNC material as the core innovation of our sensor kit, we achieve the highest performance with our own specially developed readout electronics.
Insight into the performance and functionality of our PNC material for usage in resitance and impedance measurement applications can be gained from the following documentation:
Impedance Sensor Kit Technical Data Sheet
Resistance Technical Data Sheet
Various readout methods
The PNC material can utilize resistance or impedance to interpret mechanical force into an electrical signal.
Long-term stability
If the PNC material is subjected to a long-term load, the sensor material returns to its original shape and is not deformed.
Compression in microns
The PNC material has a thickness of 400 micrometers and allows precise measurement of up to 80 micrometers of compression.
Overload resistance
The PNC material is saturated with 400N for a sensor with a diameter of 20 mm, but the material is not destroyed by overloads of up to 1000%.
Absolute measurements
PNC material changes its electrical conductivity through compression. In a compressed state, the measured values remain constant without the need of a null reference point.
Temperature stability
The base material is a medical-grade elastomere. Exposure of the PNC material to temperature fluctuations from -40 to 120°C it has not been show to degrade the material.
