An advanced material that can sense impacts or pressure
XOnano Smartfoam (BYU technology) comes in either an Impact sensing or a Pressure sensing variant. The impact measuring material requires no supply voltage to work, the foam sensor itself generates a voltage when impacted. The pressure sensing material, however, does require a small voltage generating device to measure the change in internal resistance. XOnano Impact Sensing Smartfoam has been demonstrated to provide critical impact data and protection in many different products. XOnano has partnered with Rogers Corporation to provide sensing foam capabilities to their Poron and XRD product lines. These foams provide industry-leading energy absorption while XOnano’s Smartfoam technology enables them to sense the impacts.
