Profile
The Sonoco Institute at Clemson University has a major emphasis on applied research in Printed Electronics. A primary part of our mission is the development of Intelligent Packaging, which depends heavily on printed electronics. Utilizing a cross disciplinary approach, the focus is on the commercial optimization and deposition of advanced materials on flexible substrates. With approximately 10,000 square feet devoted to Printed Electronics, the institute features a state of the art modular platform press (flexo, gravure & rotary screen), and a host of other equipment. Members of the faculty and staff have been involved in printed electronics for a decade. Printed electronics in packaging is a natural fit for Clemson because of the world-class expertise in roll-to-roll processes, advances in materials research, high quality engineering and science programs, and thorough knowledge of the packaging requirements and test procedures.

Innovative Ventilator Device for COVID-19 Patients

Prisma Health has received emergency use authorization from the US Food and Drug Administration for VESper, a unique ventilator expansion device that allows a single ventilator to support up to four patients during times of acute equipment shortages such as the current COVID-19 pandemic. Produced using 3D printing technology, the device is developed with material already in use for medical devices and produced at minimal cost.

90% of heavy industrial EVs using regenerative braking by 2024

Energy harvesting is increasingly used in the tiniest electronic components right up to multiple KW lift and swingarm braking on huge construction vehicles where 1.5 KW thermoelectric harvesting is planned next. However, electrodynamics and photovoltaics are most popular so far, increasingly in combination, and application in vehicles is of increasing importance.
