Advanced Materials

Enjet offers high resolution printing, based on electrohydrodynamic fluid control. This is capable of depositing femtoliter (nanoscale diameter) droplets, and ultimately enables features with a 1 um resolution.

Electroninks has commercialized particle-free conductive inks for printed electronics applications. Such inks are marketed to replace nanoparticle inks, metal paste and sputtered or deposited metals.

Sunray Scientific has developed a magnetic anisotropic conductive elastomer (ACE), which enables much enhanced vertical conductivity using magnetic fields rather than pressure.

LCD display industry: an assessment of current market status and key trends

The EV market is booming. The battery is a key feature for both cost and performance, the chemistry and cell levels are extensively discussed. However, everything else that goes into a pack is often overlooked.

Researchers have developed a highly efficient solar absorbing film that absorbs sunlight with minimal heat loss and rapidly heats up to 83°C in an open environment.

I caught up with Corning on the topic of thin flexible glass. The first I heard about this project was during a 2010 demonstration of the rollable glass at SID. It has therefore been a long journey already.

Chasm develops and manufactures carbon nanotube hybrids, which are a combination of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) plus another material to make an advanced material with properties better than either material alone.

Researchers are reporting a new material, pliable enough to be woven into fabric but imbued with sensing capabilities that could serve as an early warning system for injury or illness.

Ink-based conformable package-level EMI shielding: a megatrend or supplier push? In this article we consider the trend towards ink-based conformable package-level EMI shielding. The more general trend towards conformable package-level shielding is a major one, and is already in full swing. Indeed, many products have already adopted such coating, replacing the established bulky lid-based shields.

The graphene industry is approaching a tipping point with greater commercial success approaching. One key vertical for the graphene sector is the energy storage sector.

IDTechEx visited Clariant in Höchst near Frankfurt to learn more about their silver nanoparticle activity. We talked with Carsten Schauer in this visit.

IDTechEx visited Heraeus in Hanau to learn more about their new particle-free silver ink technology. This material is mainly targeted at conformal package-level EMI shielding.

Graphene has started to gain commercial success. IDTechEx view a tipping point approaching as more commercial applications emerge in composites, coatings, energy storage, thermal management solutions, sensors, and more.

ULVAC, Inc. (Headquartered in Japan) is a global leader with the most comprehensive portfolio of vacuum technologies in the world. ULVAC has been continuously developing manufacturing solutions in applications of thin film battery, power device, non-volatile memory, and PZT piezoelectric MEMS sensor which are all key elements for the IoT world.

Anti-theft tags (Electronic Article Surveillance) and Radio Frequency Identification RFID have much in common with the newer concept.

InnovationLab GmbH was established in 2008. At first, it received funding from the government (from Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung). However, since 2013 it claims to be standing on its own feet and to be cash-flow positive.

Researchers recently developed a technique that can be used to build carbon-nanotube-based fibers by creating chemical crosslinks; the technique improves the electrical and mechanical properties of these materials.

Largest Dedicated Commercial Conference & Exhibition on Graphene & 2D Materials 13 - 14 May 2020 | Estrel Convention Center, Berlin, Germany

Masterclasses are the ideal way to train staff on emerging technologies. Bracketing the IDTechEx show in Berlin, the IDTechEx masterclasses on 12th and 15th May 2020 will contain the latest insights and analysis on their chosen topics.
