From Wearables to IoT, emerging high-growth applications are challenging the typically-rigid form factors of traditional electronics. As more designers explore adding enhanced functionality to their products, there is a need for electronics to be designed for new shapes and with improved flexibility. This in turn requires utilizing new substrates, conductive materials, and fabrication technologies. This discussion will highlight examples of current state-of-the-art conductive inks along with the use of photonic curing to create high-performance electronics which are printed on flexible and low-cost materials.

Joining NovaCentrix in 1999, Stan is Chief Marketing Officer. Stan is responsible for strategic and tactical global marketing and sales for all NovaCentrix products, including the company's PulseForge tools and Metalon and PChem inks for printed and flexible electronics. He is recognized globally in the printed electronics industry and often an invited speaker for printed electronics conferences. Currently serving as Vice Chair North America elected advisory board member of the OE-A the leading international association for printed and large-area flexible electronics. Stan earned his BS degree in mechanical engineering from Rice University and MS degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Texas, Austin.

NovaCentrix is focused on technologies and materials to enable manufacturing in Printed Electronics. The PulseForge® photonic curing tools process high-temperature materials on low-temperature substrates. Applications include drying, sintering, annealing, or reacting metallic, non-metallic, and semiconductor inks, without damaging temperature sensitive substrates such as foils and plastics.
