ABSTRACT:
A sensor for measuring the concentration of components in a liquid, exhibiting a base body with a deformation body, and a hollow chamber. The hollow chamber is on the one side deformable through the deformation body and on the other side rigidly closed. The hollow chamber is completely filled with a swellable polymeric network, which network exhibits a volume phase transition at a certain concentration of components in the liquid. The liquid can have contact to the polymeric network through at least one opening in at least one of the rigid delimiting sides of the hollow chamber. A mechano electrical transducer detects the deflection of the deformation body. The sensor exhibits a servo device (8) working on the deformation body (3), wherein the servo device (8) can be controlled through a control member with a comparator unit (9) such that the deflection of the deformation body (3) is compensated, wherein the corresponding control signal for the servo device (8) represents the measurement value for the concentration of components in the liquid (1).
