Metal Rubber Strain and Skin Friction Sensors

NanoSonic’s innovative Metal Rubber™ sensor materials are electrically conductive, low-modulus, bendable and stretchable, mechanically robust and environmentally durable.

NanoSonic’s Specialty Sensor Types

• Strain sensors for large strain applications
   o sensors exhibit changes in electrical resistance with changes in mechanical strain
   o up to 1000 percent elongation
• Skin friction sensors for air or water systems due to air or water flow

FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
• Low mass density
• Low modulus
• Electrically conductive
• Mechanically durable
• Environmentally durable (UV-resistant, chemically-resistants, salt-water, and more)
• Large thermal operating range
• Conformal decals and skins (no bulky wiring needed for interconnections)
• Easily attached onto many different surfaces (even systems with intricate curved geometries)
• Can be spatially patterned and interconnected for data acquisition

* Specialty materials are subject to availability and would require a non-disclosure agreement and/or materials transfer agreement.
