摘要 |
The present invention relates to large surface distributed pressure sensors comprising at least two flexible substrates, at least of one of these being entirely or partially coated by a layer of polythiophene containing repetitive structural units with formula (I), wherein R<SUP>1 </SUP>and R<SUP>2 </SUP>are independently a C<SUB>1</SUB>-C<SUB>12 </SUB>alkyl group or they form a C<SUB>1</SUB>-C<SUB>12 </SUB>1,n-alkylene group, with n=1-12, optionally substituted by a C<SUB>1</SUB>-C<SUB>12 </SUB>alkyl group, C<SUB>2</SUB>-C<SUB>12 </SUB>alkene, vinylene, benzyl, phenyl group, a halogen atom, or by an ester, amine, amide or ether functional group, optionally substituted by a C<SUB>1</SUB>-C<SUB>12 </SUB>alkyl group; and one or more insulating spacers. Said sensors are flexible and easy to manufacture and they may present different symmetric, simple or multilayer configurations, as desired.
