With this project, OvGU aims at the utilization of polymer materials in terms of sensory and actuator applications, which are primarily found in the field of fluid - in this case liquid - media. The research question is motivated by processes from, for example, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals or chemistry. A bottleneck there are necessary but time-consuming process steps such as cleaning and sterilisation, which can sometimes be longer than the actual production and thus limit the time yield of the process plant. One trend towards increasing productivity is the use of disposable measuring systems. In order to meet this increasing demand for disposable process analytics, suitably integrated or non-invasive measuring techniques must be developed or the sensors must be designed as disposable systems. The project is dedicated to this R&D focus by working out appropriate approaches.
