The Original Paper Sensors Development Kit

This kit is the original version of our fabrication kits, whith renewed and improved materials, especially with our newly produced papers made by the finest papermakers in Europe upon our specification to make it as reliable, finely ranged and as reactive as possible for sensors design.

Our Kits are available in virous papers format and contain:

- 4 Volume conductive 1K paper used as Electrodes Layer

- 2 Voume conductive 100K papers used as esistive papers 

- 2 Dielectric thin cardoard for spacers and connection tails

- 2 bands of 20cm*0.6cm metal adhesive for connections

- 2 kraft paper adhesive for an eco-friendly encapsulation

- 2 A4 size plastic sheets for a more durable encapsulation

 

These materials combined with scissors of blades enable to produce a variety of sensors of any size and shape such as 2 Force sensors or Force + Position sensors of the size of the Electrodes Sheet (i.e. A5, A4 or 1Ft Square)

High Volume Resistive Paper - 100K - Piezoresistor

Description

As part of technical raw material developed and experienced since 2006 for electronic application, the conductive paper 1K has especially been designed as electrode layers for the custom fabrication of touch sensors and especially force sensing resistors.

It can also be used for its piezoresistive behavior under compression but the conductive paper 100K is more interesting for such applications.

This paper was also used for the design of anti-static or shielding materials, heat power transfer, temperature and humidity sensing or else as an electrode or functional layer in various components such as power sources.

Recycling

This product was made in Europe mostly from wood and cotton fibers. It also contains less than 25% conductive Carbon Pigments and a few percent chemical additives. 

 

  Carbon-loaded paper: a sustainable resource for electronics

It can (ands should) be disposed in recycling beans. Simply leave it free from other bonded materials such as metal connectors or plastic cover.

It was also optimized to have a minimal impact when buried, burnt or lost in the wild: it is biodegradable over time and burns much more easily than synthesis polymers.
