Functional polymer with supported pressure-sensitive luminophore, and pressure-sensitive paint and pressure-sensitive element using same

An oxygen-quenching luminophore constituting part of a pressure-sensitive luminophore is directly bonded by a covalent bond to an organic polymer compound having trimethylsilyl groups, so the luminophore molecules are retained in the polymer and free aggregation is inhibited when the organic solvent is evaporated. It is therefore possible to prevent light response from being reduced by the aggregation of the luminophore molecules during evaporation of the organic solvent, which is a drawback of forming films from conventional mixed-type pressure-sensitive paints. A thin-film sensor with uniform characteristics can be formed by spraying or application from a pressure-sensitive paint obtained by mixing a functional polymer with a solvent. In addition, a coating solution that has high reproducibility and is suitable for spraying or application can be obtained merely by dissolving the functional polymer as a single component in a suitable solvent. It is possible to obtain a functional polymer, a pressure-sensitive paint, and a pressure-sensitive element in which a reduction in light response due to luminophore aggregation can be prevented, and a thin sensor film having uniform characteristics can be formed, even when the organic solvent has evaporated.

Thin film sensor for brake lining pad wear and brake temperature sensing

A modular electrical resistance sensor is positionable in gaps between brake linings for a drum brake. The modular sensor is worn with the brake linings resulting in steadily increasing electrical resistance of the modular sensor. A measurement circuit associated with the modular sensor is programmed to equate electrical resistance to the degree of wear when the sensor has assumed a steady state temperature at or near the ambient temperature. Otherwise, particularly during periods of use of the brakes, resistance and the degree of wear last calculated become arguments into a function for determining brake lining temperature.
