Pressure Sensitive Material Color Change

Red patches will appear on the film when pressure is applied and the color density changes according to the various pressure levels.

Pressure sensitive material color change.

A color changing pressure sensitive elastic material 15 sep 15 chemical engineers at stanford university have created a color changing pressure sensitive elastic material that mimics the skin of reptiles. The pressure sensitive paint is based off the sensitivity of certain luminescent molecules to the presence of oxygen. The system consists of an illumination source to excite the molecules a photodetector and then of course the paint. 0 05 300 mpa 7 25 psi 43 500 psi.

There are seven types of prescale available to fulfil your varying pressure range. Through a process called oxygen quenching the fluorescence of the molecules change based upon oxygen pressure. For example they may change from a pale red to darker red. Commercially available sensor films indicate pressure by changing the intensity of just one color.

In the case the softer the denser of color and the thicker of the materials will be used less in amount. The e skin an electrochromic fabric changes its color and overall appearance with touch and surrounding conditions.
