Printable Temperature Sensor

With the use of silicon nanoparticles and screen printer, NAMI has developed an electronic tag with completely printed temperature sensor. This sensor can be easily customized to large-area sensor array, especially desired for chamber temperature mapping in cold chain services. The technology is beneficial for monitoring temperature-sensitive products such as wines and serves as a temperature data logger in cold chain of food and pharmaceuticals

 

Summary
Storage and transportation of temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals and frozen foods and high-value products like wines offers great marked opportunities for low-cost flexible temperature sensors that monitor temperature. With the use of silicon nanoparticles and screen printer, NAMI has developed an electronic tag with completely printed temperature sensor. This sensor can be easily customized to large-area sensor array, especially desired for chamber temperature mapping in cold chain services. The softness and flexibility of this ultrathin sensor make it conformable to skin and is effective for the production of wearable temperature monitors.
Technology Benefits
Temperature data logger in cold chain of food and pharmaceuticals; Temperature monitors for temperature-sensitive products such as wines; Body temperature track for babies, the elderly, patients and athletes
Technology Application
