Nanotechnologies for Mobile Devices

Nokia Research Center (NRC) is chartered with exploring new technology frontiers, solving scientific challenges today, for Nokia to deliver irresistible personal experiences tomorrow. Our teams are strategically located worldwide to collaborate with leading universities and research institutes in the mode of Open Innovation. The talk will give a broad overview of work in Nokia Research Centre Cambridge, to enable future mobile devices, covering topics such as; energy harvesting, stretchable electronics, nano-sensing and self-cleaning surfaces

Chris Bower is a principal researcher in materials science at Nokia Research Centre Cambridge, with an interest in multifunctional surfaces, having a combination of properties such as; super-hydrophobic / self-cleaning / colour changing / sensing. Prior to this he worked for 12 years at Kodak on the fundamental physics of multi-layer thin-film coating for sensitized goods, and developed novel, roll-to-roll surface energy patterning, and high resolution liquid patterning technology, for inkjet and flexographic printing.
