Resumen

Los copolímeros poli(acrilato de n-butilo) al 70% y poli(ácido acrílico) al 30% se prepararon mediante polimerización radicálica en emulsión. El polímero resultante se utilizó en un proceso de coextrusión para fabricar un prototipo de sensor tipo cable formado por alambre de nicromo como núcleo y alambre de cobre envuelto en espiral (bobinados 1.2 cm/ciclo). Se diseñó un circuito de sistema sensor para la detección de fugas de leche. La estructura polimérica mejoró las propiedades de procesamiento de los sensores de alambre con forma distribuida y disminuyó la sensibilidad a la humedad ambiental, evitando falsas alarmas. En pruebas simuladas, el sistema detecta la localización de la fuga con alta precisión (niveles de error de +/- 1%).
