Smart sensors company Quantum Technology Supersensors, with support from the CPI, has produced a pioneering sensor recently launched to market.
Quantum Technology Supersensors represent a step forward in smart functional materials, according to the company, delivering improved controllability and functionality while significantly reducing environmental impact for a more sustainable electronics future.
Quantum Technology Supersensors are environmentally-friendly, smart materials that harness quantum technology in a way that delivers controllability over a vast range of conduction and sensitivities, significantly improving functionality.
With potential uses spanning automotive, Internet of Things, healthcare, robotics, mobile and gaming, the technology enables businesses to print, squeeze and mold Quantum Technology Supersensors onto almost any surface, including recyclable ones, instantly rendering it “smart.” Durable and suitable for harsh environments, the sensors are also skin and food contact safe, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
The company was established by serial innovator David Lussey, who is known for the invention of Quantum Tunnelling Composites.
“Our vision is for these flexible, directly printable and mouldable electronic sensors to enable the creation of exciting new products, which will enhance the interface between the physical and digital world in an environmentally friendly way,” Lussey said.
The first Quantum Technology Supersensors licensee, Infi-tex has been already been selected by the UK’s Department for International Trade as one of the UK’s 30 brightest tech innovations for its work with interactive textiles.
Additional use cases for the flexible, printable and mouldable sensors includes low weight, low power and low cost environmentally friendly printable switches and sensors for the automotive and transportation sector, intuitive multi-functional interfaces and touch screens that can adapt to the user, and fatigue-monitoring skins and components, for example: pressure-sensing washers.
In the medical and healthcare markets durable, recyclable single or multi-touch sensors can monitor swellings and 3D body parts that are able to sense pressure can be printed.
In the home, smart pressure sensors on active surfaces enable product differentiation aesthetically and ergonomically, and data harvesting can provide much needed assistance such as pre-warnings of falls by the elderly.
