Advanced Materials

Metallic soldering represents a key manufacturing process across many industries, including aerospace, automotive, and electronics. Current solder products trade off the reliability of joints formed with the very high processing temperatures needed to form those joints—a problem that has limited material selection and product design.

Gerdau Graphene are a subsidiary of Gerdau, the largest producer of long steel in the Americas. Gerdau Graphene focus on the commercialization of graphene-enhanced products.

Ceylon Graphene Technologies are a Sri Lankan company producing graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO). IDTechEx spoke with Manju Gunawardana (CEO).

Watercycle Technologies are a Manchester, UK, based start-up, aiming to extract lithium from solution (brine-mining) using graphene-based membranes. IDTechEx spoke with Dr Seb Leaper (CEO) and Dr Fiona Porter (Operations Director).

A simple and versatile nanoparticle ink could help next-generation perovskite solar cells to be printed at scale and become the dominant force in commercial photovoltaics. Made from tin oxide, the ink is created with just one key step at relatively low temperature using microwave technology, and without any need for further purification. It's then used in solar cells to help selectively transport electrons, a crucial step in generating electricity.

Thursday 21 July 2022 - Exploring the Dynamics of the $29.5 Billion 3D Printing Materials Market. Benchmarking relevant materials/players; identifying growth drivers and trends to watch for different classes of AM materials; examining key market activity; IDTechEx's market outlook for the industry

One of the major environmental issues facing the planet today is the rising levels of plastic consumption and waste. As carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions also soar, the emerging carbon capture and utilization (CCU) industry propose a solution for both issues: creating lower-carbon, degradable polymers using CO2 emissions as the feedstock.

Victrex are a UK-based supplier of PAEK family polymers. IDTechEx spoke with Robert McKay, Head of New Business Development — Additive Manufacturing for Victrex, on their 3D printing activities.

Universal Matter are commercialising the flash process for manufacturing graphene. IDTechEx spoke with Dr Peter van Ballegooie (VP of strategic planning).

Whilst much of the "5G" infrastructure is a moderate upgrade on existing 4G technology, there is still plenty of scope for higher frequency deployment such as mmWave devices and very different station types such as small cells. Each of these new developments presents its own technological evolution and with it, thermal challenges.
