25 cents each. It is the goal when Peab, Linkoping University and other partners to develop a moisture sensor that can be used in hundreds of moisture sensitive locations.
The new moisture sensor will become so cheap that in principle it should
be possible to decorate an apartment with it - without being noticed in
your wallet.
Right now the first prototypes inside the walls - the plasterboard and tile - on a new building in Norrköping.
We
recently read of them with our readers. And it turned out that there
is still some fine-tuning of the sensor. But within a year, I think it
is clear that the finished product, says Isak Engquist, who is project
leader of the research team for organic electronics at Linköping
University.
The sensor, which is made from organic electronics to
aluminum and plastic, looks like a printed label. The sentence is to be
mass produced in a printing press so that the price will be minimal.
