Release date: 2015-11-17 According to the British "Daily Mail" reported on November 9, the University of Tokyo research team developed a lightweight sensor. Simply place the sensor on the human skin and monitor small changes in body temperature and respond in a timely manner. The temperature sensor can be applied not only to infants but also to susceptible patients in intensive care.

At present, the types of sensors on the market are growing and widely used. In order to carry out temperature measurement more accurately, the research and development team led by the materials scientists of Tokyo University, Takao Someya and Dr. Tomoyuki Yokota, developed a sensitive and convenient method with the help of printing technology. Temperature Sensor. The sensor's response time is within 100 milliseconds. When measuring body temperature, the temperature sensitivity can be accurate to 0.02 degrees Celsius. Simply attach or wrap it around the object to be tested to monitor the small fluctuations in temperature.
The sensor consists of an acrylate semi-crystalline polymer comprising two monomers. By adjusting the specific ratio of the two monomers, the sensor's applicable temperature can be precisely adjusted. At present, the research team has successfully adjusted its applicable temperature to between 25 degrees Celsius and 50 degrees Celsius, which is suitable for the average body temperature of the human body.
The device can not only monitor the body temperature of newborns, but also be used in susceptible patients for intensive care, and can be further developed into intelligent Bandages. Professor Kazuo Kazuo said: "When the tape is applied directly to the wound or used after surgery, the heat generated by the inflammation of the wound can be monitored at any time, thus giving an early warning."
In the medical field, the device can be combined with biological tissues, such as the skin, to achieve accurate measurements. Professor Kazuo Kazuo also said: "If these sensors are copied in large quantities, they will be used to measure the surface temperature of large areas." In addition, the technology is also applied to wearable electronic devices to monitor body temperature while people are exercising.
