PRESSURE-SENSITIVE SENSOR
First Claim
1. A pressure-sensitive sensor, comprising:
- a long hollow insulation that is elastically deformable and comprises a hollow portion extending continuously in a longitudinal direction;
a plurality of electrode wires that are provided along the inner peripheral surface of the hollow portion throughout the longitudinal length and are arranged facing each other with a distance therebetween so as to come into contact with each other when bent with elastic deformation of the hollow insulation, each electrode wire being formed by providing a conductive cover around a conductor; and
an outer layer formed to cover an outer surface of the hollow insulation,wherein the hollow insulation comprises an insulating composition (A) comprising a styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer (a1), andwherein the outer layer comprises an insulating composition (C) comprising a thermoplastic polyurethane (c1) and an acid-modified polymer (c2) that is modified with an unsaturated carboxylic acid or a derivative thereof.
