  • Sensor
    Patent number: 9016937
    Abstract: An electrical temperature sensor (10) comprises a liquid crystalline material (12). First and second electrically conductive contacts (14), (16), having a spaced relationship therebetween, contact the liquid crystalline material (12). An electric property measuring device is electrically connected to the first and second contacts (14), (16) and is arranged to measure an electric property of the liquid crystalline material (12). The liquid crystalline material (12) has a transition temperature T at which it undergoes a phase change between polar and non-polar phases. The phase change between polar and non-polar phases causes a change in said electric property of the liquid crystalline material (12).

  • TEMPERATURE RECORDER COMPRISING A LIQUID CRYSTALLINE MATERIAL
    Publication number: 20130114642
    Abstract: A temperature recorder comprises a sensing cell which comprises a reactant mixture. The reactant mixture comprises a liquid crystalline material, a reactive monomer, and an initiator configured to initiate cross-linking of the reactive monomer and thereby form a sensing material which provides a record of the temperature of the sensing cell when cross-linking occurs. The sensing material comprises a cross-linked network dispersed within the liquid crystalline material, the cross-linked network being formed from the reactive monomer. The sensing cell additionally comprises first and second electrically conductive electrodes having a spaced relationship there between and being connectable to an electric property measuring device arranged to measure an electric property of the sensing material.
