Highly sensitive sensor fibre
Scientists of the Saarland University of Applied Sciences succeeded in developing a special nano-scale layer which is highly sensitive to stretching. This layer called “nanoNi@C” is also presented in a second technology offer. In a new development process, the scientists implemented a application oriented sensor geometry in form of a fibre. This new sensor fibre has all advantages of the developed nanoNi@c-layer and is practical in universal circumstances. It can easily be connected to or embedded into structures that need to be measured. In various contexts, such as automotive and aircraft construction, structural health monitoring and supervision tasks in the field of industrial hydraulic accumulators or consumer electronics the new fibre is beneficial. It is ten times more sensitive than anyone available on the market. Therefore, completely new opportunities are possible.
