The present invention relates to a foil sensor for force detection with direct
force transducer, with a corresponding electrical
contact line for detecting forces and force loads, wherein an electrical
signal can be derived from the foil sensor for force detection with direct
force transducer. At least two conductive electrodes (12) are applied to the
plastic film material (11), each having a contact area (13) at its leads. A direct
force sensor (21) is mounted on the surface of the
plastic film material (11) facing the conductive electrodes (12). The direct
force sensor detects the mechanical forces acting on the surface and deforms elastically under the influence of force. The direct
force sensor (21) does not cover the conductive electrodes (12) or only partially covers them, and it also does not cover the contact area (13). A
polymer nanocomposite material (31) is also applied to this surface of the
plastic film material (11), the surface facing the conductive electrodes (12), in particular such that the conductive electrodes (12) are completely or predominantly covered by the
polymer nanocomposite material (31). The
polymer nanocomposite material (31) does not touch the direct
force transducer (21) or only partially, thereby creating a
free space (32) between the
polymer nanocomposite material (31) and the direct force
transducer (21). The elastic material compression of the
polymer nanocomposite (31) can be detected by means of an impedance and / or electrical resistance measurement via the conductive electrodes (12).
