NanoSen PNC Force Sensors for Printed and Hybrid Electronics

This 10-minute tech talk introduces NanoSen PNC Force Sensors, a breakthrough in printed and hybrid electronics. Leveraging our specially developed piezoresitive and piezocapacitive polymer nanocomposite (PNC) material, this sensor material can be seamlessly integrated with flexible substrates, enabling robust, sensitive, and adaptable force measurements via impedance readout electronics. A single 20mm sensor can measure 0.01 newton - 150 newton and withstand 20 megapascals of pressure before the material is damaged. We have also tested the robustness with 20 million cycles á 200 newtons of force, without experiencing material degredation.

The talk will highlight their durability, flexibility for applications like wearables and robotics, and high sensitivity for precise force detection in medical and consumer devices. Attendees will explore real-world use cases with printed electrodes made from different substrates and configurations to show the future potential of this innovative technology.
