Flexible barriers-an unmet yet technologically challenging market need
Barrier films are required to extend the lifetime of many organic devices including OLED lighting and organic photovoltaics. Currently, the absence of a cost-competitive, high-performance and flexible barrier on the market means that these technologies are stripped of one of their primary differentiators and selling points: flexibility.24 Sep 2013
CPI
The Center for Process Innovation (CPI) was set up by the Government in 2008 as an initiative to help UK companies bring products to market, by giving them access to specialist equipment and scientists, over coming the burden of initial capital cost to test and develop products. £35 million has been invested in the center, which is based in the North East of England.

Best for batteries: Not too hot, not too cold
With average U.S. gasoline prices approaching $4 a gallon, drivers and automakers are thinking electric. Previously steered in this direction by concerns about pollution and dependence on foreign oil, consumer interest in electric-drive cars continues to surge. But before Americans are able to flip the switch from gasoline to electricity, automakers need batteries for the next generation of electric vehicles that can deliver the range, performance, reliability and safety drivers expect.18 Mar 2011
