Abstract: In an embodiment a membrane includes a hydrophobic region having a plurality of hierarchically arranged micrometer-sized and submicrometer-sized units consisting of a membrane material, wherein a single micrometer-sized unit has a diameter of from 1 ?m to 5 ?m and a single submicrometer-sized unit has a diameter of <1 ?m, and wherein the membrane is configured to be used in a pressure sensor system.

Abstract: In an embodiment a sensor device includes a sensor element, a media supply configured to transport a medium to the sensor element and a surface, wherein the surface is configured to be exposed to the medium during operation of the sensor device, and wherein the surface comprises a surface structure configured to reduce a wettability of the surface by the medium.

Abstract: A membrane, a pressure sensor system and a method for producing the pressure sensor system are disclosed. In an embodiment a pressure sensor system includes a housing, at least one media supply line and a pressure-sensitive element including at least one membrane with a hydrophobic region.

Abstract: The invention relates to a glass ceramic mass containing at least one oxide ceramic containing barium, titanium and at least one rare earth metal Rek; and at least one glass material containing at least one oxide with boron, at least one oxide with silicon and at least one oxide with at least one bivalent metal Me2+. The glass ceramic mass is characterised in that the glass material contains at least one oxide with bismuth, especially bismuth trioxide. The oxide ceramic is especially a microwave ceramic of formula BaRek2Ti4O12, Rek being neodymium or samarium. The composition of the oxide ceramic remains essentially constant during the sintering of the glass ceramic, enabling the material properties of the glass ceramic mass, such as permittivity (20–80), quality (800–5000) and Tkf (±20 ppm/K) to be specifically predetermined. The glass ceramic mass is characterised by a densification temperature of under 910° C.

Abstract: The invention relates to a glass ceramic mass, comprising at least one oxide ceramic, containing barium, titanium and at least one rare earth metal Rek and at least one glass material, containing at least one oxide with boron and at least one oxide of a rare earth metal Reg. The glass material further contains either an oxide of a tetravalent metal Me4+, or at least one oxide of a pentavalent metal Me5+. A compression of the glass ceramic mass occurs above all by viscous flow. A low vitrification temperature can thus be achieved. Crystallisation products are produced during and/or after the compression. The rare earth oxide and the crystallisation products can be used to pre-determine each of a dielectric material property of the glass ceramic mass in a wide range such as permittivity (15-80), Q (350-5000) and Tf value (±20 ppm/K). The glass ceramic mass is characterised by a vitrification temperature of below 850° C.
