Title:

FIBRE COMPOSITE COMPONENT ACTING AS AN ACTUATOR, A SENSOR AND/OR A GENERATOR AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/134462

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

The invention relates to fibre composite components acting as an actuator, a sensor and/or a generator, and to a method for the production thereof. The aim of the invention is to provide such fibre composite components that can be easily and reliably produced, and in which elements acting as an actuator, a generator and/or a sensor are securely fixed and precisely positioned. In a fibre composite component according to the invention, at least one piezoelectric element (1) is fixed and positioned inside a fibrous structure by fibres or thread (2) or fixed to a fibrous structure and positioned therein by means of fibres or thread. Flexible electroconductive connections (4) that can be contacted from outside the fibre composite compound are guided on and/or inside the fibrous structure to electrical connection contacts (3) of the at least one piezoelectric element. At least one piezoelectric element, electroconductive compounds and the fibrous structure are embedded in a matrix material.
