Abstract: The invention concerns the field of electronics and materials science and relates to components on flexible substrates, as are for example used as sensors or actuators in the automotive industry, mechanical engineering or electronics, and to a method for the production thereof. The object of the present invention is the specification of components on flexible substrates, the physical and in particular electrical properties of which have long-term stability, and the specification of a cost-efficient and simple method for the production thereof. The object is attained with components on flexible substrates, composed of a flexible substrate having a barrier layer arranged at least partially thereon, on which layer a components layer is at least partially positioned.

Abstract: The invention concerns the field of electrical, materials and mechanical engineering and relates to the use of flexible magnetic thin layer sensor elements, which can be used for measuring magnetic flux density in electromagnetic energy converters and magnetomechanical energy converters. The aim of the invention is to specify the use of flexible magnetic thin layer sensor elements in electric machines and magnetic bearings, which can be placed in air gaps without substantially limiting the air gap widths.
