Scalable
Manufacturing
We offer a multi-tiered production strategy to meet different volume requirements, from early prototyping to full-scale mass production.
An unique innovation
Nanomade technology is based on the deposition of a strain-sensitive ink on flexible substrates.
More specifically, Nanomade strain sensors consist of a proprietary conductive ink containing nanoparticles deposited between interdigitated conductive electrodes on an insulating flexible substrate.
Quantum tunnelling
Nanomade’s strain sensor technology is based on quantum tunneling, a unique phenomenon where electrons jump between conductive nanoparticles separated by tiny gaps.
When the material stretches, these gaps widen, reducing electron flow and increasing resistance. When compressed, the gaps shrink, allowing more electrons to pass, lowering resistance. This results in extreme sensitivity to even the smallest mechanical changes.
Thanks to this advanced nanoparticle ink, Nanomade’s sensors deliver unmatched precision across various industries.
Applicable in all industries
Nanomade sensors are designed with adaptability in mind, making them suitable for a wide range of industries. Whether in automotive, healthcare, or beyond, our technology offers tailored solutions to meet the unique requirements of each sector, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
We’re well protected
Nanomade has built a strong intellectual property portfolio, with 20 patents filed to date and a continuous innovation process that leads to the generation of 1 to 2 new patents every year. These patents focus on the unique integration of Nanomade’s sensors to ensure optimal performance across various applications, from touch and force detection to strain sensing.
While the specific formulation of the nanoparticle-based ink remains a closely guarded industrial secret, the patented methods ensure seamless integration, reliability, and high sensitivity in diverse environments. This commitment to innovation strengthens Nanomade’s technological leadership and ability to deliver cutting-edge solutions.

FAQ
What are the deformation sensors designed by Nanomade?
Nanomade’s deformation sensors are ultra-thin, highly sensitive, transparent, customisable and flexible low-consumption sensors that, once glued inside or on an object, detect deformation (strain) of various surfaces, enabling real-time monitoring and data collection. These sensors have three main applications, Force & Touch, enabling any material or 3D shape to become interactive (leather, wood, metal, etc.), Health Monitoring, detecting micro-deformations in the body to collect physiological data (heartbeats, respiration, posture, etc.) and Structural Deformation Detection, identifying deformation or impact on various structures like metal or wood.
