Motor-vehicle seal with integrated anti-pinching system

A seal anti-pinching system for a window of a motor-vehicle, the system comprising:

• a sealing body formed of polymeric elastomeric material supplemented with carbon-based nanofillers, said body including:
• an outer surface having one or more piezo-resistive areas, said one or more piezo-resistive areas being formed by the polymeric material supplemented with carbon-based nanofillers being laser irradiated, said one or more piezo-resistive areas defining one or more electric deformation sensors activatable in response to a contact with a foreign body at least during a movement of the window of the motor-vehicle;
• said outer surface comprising one or more electrical connection lines being electrically conductive due to the polymeric material supplemented with carbon-based nanofillers being laser irradiated, said one or more electrical connection lines connecting the one or more electric deformation sensors to electrodes of said seal anti-pinching system;
• said one or more deformation sensors and said one or more connection lines being integral portions of said body;
• the body being channel-shaped and comprising a central portion between an inner wing and an outer wing, said outer wing intended to face toward an exterior of the motor-vehicle, and said inner wing intended to face toward an interior of the motor-vehicle;
• said one or more deformation sensors being distributed along a length of a lower end edge of said inner wing;
• an electronic control unit configured to monitor an electrical resistance of said one or more electrical connection lines connecting said one or more deformation sensors and to generate an alarm signal when the electrical resistance deviates from a predetermined value in response to the contact with the foreign body at least during the movement of the window of the motor-vehicle.
