A composite for sensing heat or infrared light includes a block copolymer including a first structural group represented by Chemical Formula 1, a second structural group represented by Chemical Formula 2, and a third structural group represented by Chemical Formula 3; and a polyvalent metal ion that is coordinated with a side chain group of the block copolymer.

ABA type block copolymers as a new class of temperature sensing polymers with tunable, high temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR). A sensor includes a heater, a thermal insulator between two thermometer layers, the heater generating a thermal gradient within the thermal insulator. The thermometers give an indirect measurement of fluid flow around the sensor, based on their temperature readings. The thermometers are flexible layers including ABA block polymers.
