Quantum Technology Supersensors is a specialist materials development SME producing a new generation of ‘smart’ & ‘multi-functional’ materials that harness nature’s Quantum Technology effects to enable new ways of making electronics for environmental impact and energy reduction whilst reducing weight and costs. Its Award Winning environmentally friendly Quantum Technology Supersensor™ (QTSS™) materials open up new and exciting possibilities for interactive surfaces, touch sensing, strain gauges and single point or multi-touch pressure/force sensors & switches. QTSS™ materials change from insulator to conductor under pressure in proportion to the amount of force applied exhibiting resistance change over many orders of magnitude of over a billion ohms. This provides a uniquely large operating range capability and sensitivities are alterable. They are ‘smart’ as they know ‘where’ and ‘how hard’ they are being pressed and can add 3D Force-Touch pressure sensing functionality to most surfaces including recyclable ones. Design freedom opens up new possibilities for novel, yet more sustainable product innovation in high growth markets such as Printed/Large Area Electronics, Healthcare, Prosthetics, Robotics, Stretchable & Conformable Electronics, Consumer, Automotive/ Transport, IOT, Smart Cities, Responsive Environments, Packaging and Wearables.
Role in the Project
– Smart Materials development specialists
– Provision of suitable QTSS™ materials
– Development & Evaluation of Sensors in conjunction with Swerea/IVF

Role in the Project
Panagiotis Vartholomeos, from TWI-Hellas, is the Technical Coordinator of the Project.
Data – We enable low volume efficiency by employing Bayesian and GAN based methodologies for extracting meaningful information from skewed datasets.
Fidelity – We enable a model driven approach by building non-parametric models that integrate new knowledge obtained from hybrid datasets to enhance the quality of
prediction.
Interpretability – We integrate failure modes and degradation mechanisms into the models to enable explainable artificial intelligence.
