NanoSen GmbH
NanoSen GmbH develops and manufactures advanced flexible force sensing solutions based on polymer nanocomposites and proprietary force sensing impedance technology.
About
NanoSen GmbH is a technology spin-off from TU Chemnitz, Germany, specializing in the development, production, and customization of next-generation force sensing materials and sensor systems. Their primary innovation lies in combining flexible polymer nanocomposites (PNC) with impedance-based force sensing, delivering sensors that are ultra-thin, highly sensitive, durable, and robust even under demanding conditions. NanoSen's solutions enable custom, scalable force measurements, and address limitations of conventional resistive and capacitive technologies. Their products are applied in robotics, automation, healthcare/medtech, industrial testing, and materials research, and the company supports both off-the-shelf kits for rapid evaluation and engineering services for custom applications.
