Advanced Materials

A low-cost, high-speed method for printing electronics using graphene and other conductive materials could open up a wide range of commercial applications.

Mosaic Solutions are a daughter company of Conpart, developing silver-coated, mono-dispersed polymer particles for use as the conductive filler in isotropic conductive adhesives.

Video interview with Directa Plus at Graphen & 2D Materials Europe.

Henkel have been producing ACF for 20 years. The fine pitch capability makes it ideal for LCD displays, but this is now a shrinking market. The opportunities lie in OLEDs, printed electronics and wearable electronics, which require lower temperature curing.

Meyer Burger NL is a company based in Eindhoven, The Netherlands and manufacture thin film deposition and printing equipment. The company's expertise in different types of deposition has allowed them to supply several thin film encapsulation cluster tools to customers worldwide.

The graphene industry is at a critical juncture for many small to medium sized companies: it is time for them to generate revenues and pre-empt any pending cash flow issues. These companies cannot often afford to take the long view, which many research groups and government are rightly taking.

Europeans won the Nobel Prize for their work on graphene but they are not necessarily winning on the commercial front. In fact, it is the Chinese who might overtake them.

Interview with PiezoTech at Printed Electronics Europe.

Nano Dimension Ltd today announced its AgCite™ line of conductive silver nanoparticle inks for inkjet deposition.

Graphene finds users in California (Our most exciting graphene conference so far).

Sinode systems was founded in 2012 as a spin out from Northwestern University. The company has developed a silicon-graphene composite material for lithium-ion batteries and it is the exclusive licensee of the patents held by Northwestern University.

Scientists in Korea have developed wearable, graphene-coated fabrics that can detect dangerous gases present in the air, alerting the wearer by turning on an LED light.

Thought leaders IDTechEx were among the first to identify three new megatrends in the world of technology: Structural Electronics (SE); 3D Printed Electronics (3DPE); Energy Independent Electric Vehicles (EIVs).

Scientists have discovered a way to make organic semiconductors more powerful and more efficient.

FlexEnable has successfully validated a new class of high performance organic semiconductors in a million pound project funded by Innovate UK.

DuPont Microcircuit Materials is launching a suite of in-mold electronic inks designed to help streamline electronic devices by reducing the need for rigid circuit boards.

The first official experiment has taken place in a novel collaboration between industry and academia in the production of graphene.

Creative Materials are custom formulators of conductive adhesives for a variety of niche markets.

An international group of scientists is reporting a breakthrough in the effort to characterize the properties of graphene noninvasively while acquiring information about its response to structural strain.

Regular graphene has no band gap - its unusually rippled valence and conduction bands actually meet in places, making it more like a metal. Nonetheless, scientists have tried to tease them apart.
