KG, Germany, on the occasion of the 5th anniversary celebration of the OE-A - the industry association for organic and printed electronics - in late February at the Holst Centre in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. In December 2004, 35 members founded this working group within VDMA. "One of the founding principles of the OE-A five years ago was the goal to build an international industry association to jointly develop this future multi-billion Euro market", emphasized the Chairman of the OE-A. "Cooperation all along the value chain is essential in this phase; no company can achieve it alone."http://www.printedelectronicsworld.com/articles/oe_as_5th_anniversary_00002106.asp?rsstopicid=243http://www.printedelectronicsworld.com/articles/oe_as_5th_anniversary_00002106.asp?rsstopicid=24316 Mar 2010 The demands placed on new, high-tech materials are continually increasing, and existing material systems are reaching their limits. Due to their exceptional electrical and mechanical properties, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene and their composite materials offer high potential for use in diverse applications such as photovoltaics, sensors, semiconductor devices, displays, conductors, smart textiles and energy conversion devices (e.g., fuel cells, harvesters and batteries).http://www.printedelectronicsworld.com/articles/cnts_amp_graphene_and_the_situation_in_germany_00002100.asp?rsstopicid=243http://www.printedelectronicsworld.com/articles/cnts_amp_graphene_and_the_situation_in_germany_00002100.asp?rsstopicid=24312 Mar 2010 Interest in Printed Electronics from major consumer brands worldwide is constantly increasing. A testimony to that is the ever-growing number of end-users presenting at the latest IDTechEx Printed Electronics conference this coming April, as well as the variety of industries they represent.http://www.printedelectronicsworld.com/articles/electrolux_kimberly_clark_and_the_printed_electronics_uptake_00002094.asp?rsstopicid=243http://www.printedelectronicsworld.com/articles/electrolux_kimberly_clark_and_the_printed_electronics_uptake_00002094.asp?rsstopicid=24310 Mar 2010 Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) - self organising, self healing networks of small "nodes" - have huge potential across industrial, military and other many other sectors.
