Henkel Functional Material Solutions for Printed Electronics

The digital transformation poses a variety of challenges to all industries. One of them is surely the pressure to leverage the potential of new technologies to enhance performance.

Hybrid CNT Could Aid Flexible Format Phones

CHASM Advanced Materials is revolutionizing design and fabrication of printed electronics and energy storage devices through exclusive development and manufacture of CNT hybrid transparent conductive films and CNT hybrid electrode materials. The company's line of AgeNT transparent conductive films is flexible and formable with low pattering costs and low sheet resistance at high transparency. Leading companies across multiple industries have successfully launched next generation innovations using transparent circuits, heaters, antennas, and films as well as advanced CNT inks and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) only available from CHASM. Visit us at booth #I07 to see demonstration of materials and applications.

SP Technology

SPTechnology, a division of Speciality Printing, provides materials and printed components. IDTechEx met them at CES 2020. Products include RFID, medical sensors, force sensors, heating, capacitive touch and security tags.

CHASM Advanced Materials Partners with Screentec

CHASM Advanced Materials announced that it has entered into a partnership with Screentec, a leader in the printed electronics field. This partnership agreement via CHASM's Preferred Integration Partner Program will draw on the strengths of Screentec's skilled team of printed electronics experts and CHASM's boundary pushing CNT Hybrid platform, AgeNT.

Barrier films and thin film encapsulation: key technology, trends

Flexible and foldable high-performance barrier or encapsulation technology had long represented a technology challenge. The industry spent a decade and a half optimizing the approaches and the processes to achieve large-area production-grade results. The development however has not ended. Indeed, the commercial journey towards flexible and foldable devices is only just beginning. As such, the development of flexible barrier technologies still has far to travel.

CHASM Advanced Materials launches partner program

CHASM Advanced Materials, developer and manufacturer of carbon nanotube hybrid transparent conductive films, announced the launch of The CHASM Preferred Integration Partner (PIP) Program to assemble an exclusive network of the most prolific design, integration, and manufacturing organizations in the printed electronics industry.

Marine robots take calculated risks

Algorithm could help autonomous underwater vehicles explore risky but scientifically-rewarding environments.

Thermoelectrics: Doors Close; Doors Open

This article covers the challenges companies involved in thermoelectric energy harvesting have faced and possible areas of development in the future.

The Evangelists and Pragmatists in the race to augment the world

At the Augmented World Expo (AWE) 2017 last week IDTechEx analyst James Hayward began to subconsciously position each company and individual that he spoke to on a scale between two extremes, as explained in this article.

Stretchable electronics: everything you need to know

Stretchable Electronics is a term that conceals great diversity. Indeed, it is an umbrella term that refers to a whole host of emerging electronic materials, components and devices that exhibit some degree of mechanical stretchability.

In mold electronics: the next frontier for transparent conductive film

In Mold Electronics is making a commercial comeback. The behind-the-scenes interest in IME remains robust. The first wave of products are close to market launch, the value networks are being enhanced, volume manufacturers are more engaged than ever, and the material set is transitioning beyond conductive inks to include transparent conductive films, sensors, actuators, and so on. Overall, we expect 2017/18 to the years when IME applications finally grow after years of on and off starts.

New product announcements from the IDTechEx Show! exhibition hall

From the Exhibition Hall at the IDTechEx Show! in Santa Clara last week came a wide variety of new product announcements and press releases. Here we summarize some of the announcements.

Buses will be taxis will be buses

IDTechEx attended the invitation-only Barclays Select Series: Disruptive Mobility event in Greenwich, London. Here we report some of what was said about autonomous vehicles at the reception and at the event itself.

Learning from the death of Micropelt

Fabrice Poulin writes to a Linkedin energy harvesting group, "The industry was already buzzing about the difficulties of Micropelt end of last year."

The death of MakerBot is not the death of an industry

Following the progress of MakerBot, it is easy to be despondent about the whole desktop 3D printing industry.

The graphene market to reach 3,800 tonnes per year in 2026

IDTechEx Research projects that the graphene market will grow to $220m in 2026. This forecast is at the material level and does not count the value of graphene-enabled products. In many instances graphene is only an additive with low wt% values.
