  • Patent number: 7854159
    Abstract: A sensor for measuring the concentration of components in a liquid, exhibiting a base body with a deformation body, and a hollow chamber. The hollow chamber is on the one side deformable through the deformation body and on the other side rigidly closed. The hollow chamber is completely filled with a swellable polymeric network, which network exhibits a volume phase transition at a certain concentration of components in the liquid. The liquid can have contact to the polymeric network through at least one opening in at least one of the rigid delimiting sides of the hollow chamber. A mechano electrical transducer detects the deflection of the deformation body.
