Advanced Materials

The IDTechEx report "Advanced Electric Cars 2020 - 2040" forecasts fuel-cell cars globally through 2040, and finds they continue to be a commercial failure for the next two decades.

Join the IDTechEx webinar on Wednesday 25 November. Where will we need low-loss materials? What are the requirements for low-loss materials for mmWave 5G applications? Can thermosets materials compete with thermoplastics in the 5G market? How big is the market for low-loss materials?

Part of an IDTechEx series of premium articles on Fluoropolymers

This IDTechEx premium article presents new IDTechEx forecasts for fluoropolymers in electrics and electronics.

Despite a temporary setback owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the market for 3D printing of metals is expected to see a significant rise over the next decade. Within that, it is anticipated that most of the revenue will be attributed to material sales.

Copprint updated IDTechEx regarding the progress of their commercial inks over the first year after launch.

Far from being something almost entirely based on devices and structures on dry land, the smart city is becoming more and more water centric.

Triboelectric face masks, filters, harvesting: fluoropolymer centric new technology

IDTechEx's Dr Luyun Jiang explores fluoropolymers in 5G

There are a vast number of applications of fluoropolymers in commercial and researched electronic and electric products. Here we select some to show the trends and some recent work.

NanoXplore Inc received a blanket purchase order from Martinrea International Inc to supply graphene for fuel and brake lines for passenger vehicles produced by North American automotive Original Equipment Manufacturers.

Fluoropolymers make electricity from movement by acting as electrets, triboelectric nanogenerators, variable capacitors, pyroelectrics or piezoelectrics.

6G will be the sixth generation of wireless communications technologies supporting cellular data networks. 6G (sixth-generation wireless) is the intended successor to 5G cellular technology.

Processing by the fluorochemical industry is broadly as shown right. Specific fluoropolymer formulations and formats are then produced by cross linking, copolymerisation etc. then extrusion calendaring and so on.

18 November 2020 - The expenditure on new technologies for emerging smart cities will pass one trillion dollars yearly. That is the subject of this webinar -sharing some of the research carried out by PhD level multilingual IDTechEx analysts worldwide for their new overview report on smart city technologies with 35 forecasts.

IDTechEx have released a new market research report on materials for printed/flexible electronics - materials for OLEDs, photovoltaics (OPV), thin film transistors (OTFTs), photodetectors (OPDs). Also carbon nanotubes, perovskites, quantum dots, functional inorganic inks, component attachment materials, conductive inks.

Micro-LED is exciting the markets and commentators, but the question of whether, and how, it will become the natural replacement for other LED technologies, including the currently dominant LCD and OLED, is somewhat complex.

The primary purpose of this IDTechEx premium article is to assist those making fluoropolymers and added value materials containing fluoropolymers to find new markets, improve margins and achieve growth in sales and profitability
