Offering Description

Printing of customized transducers (incl. protection layer) of specific shape and size on a variety of substrates Poling (target value poling) of the transducers as well as singularization of the transducers Basic evaluation electronic board

Offering specifications

Substrates (max. size A3):

PET, Platilon, TPU (stretchable substrate), Polypropylene, Transfer substrates, Paper

Thickness of transducers (exclusive substrate) ≤ 30µm

PyzoFlex® allows a system to detect changes in temperature (∆T; pyroelectric), pressure (∆P; piezoelectric) as well as structure born sound (Hz; vibration). Due to the sensing principle of PyzoFlex®, the transducers themselves do not require a power supply and in fact can also be used for energy harvesting.
