Large-area Printed Smart Textiles and Their Applications (Printed Electronics and Photovoltaics Europe 2011)

Future-Shape uses tomorrow's vision of ambient assisted living today in applications that are both practicable and purposeful. These technologies will bring about some major advances in building automation, while at the same time maximizing comfort, improving security systems and, thanks to the use of sophisticated energy-saving techniques, helping to increase environmental protection. In our view, making such complex systems both robust and easy to use is one of the greatest challenges facing the technologies of tomorrow. We are specialized on large-area sensor systems based on smart textiles, that enable a variety of new applications.

Composites and functionalized surfaces came increasingly into focus recently. In fact, composite materials offers improvements in reliability and efficiency, perfectly fitting into the global efforts of developing green technology and reducing environmental pollution.

 

Platingtech has specialized in surface processing of fabrics and wire meshes (polymeres and metal substrates) using a continuous roll-to-roll process. In addition to classic electrodeposition of metals Platingtech developed in cooporation with BASF a selectively plating process for polymeres leading to so called "smart textiles".

 

Our product range is widely spread and covers heat-seating systems, intelligent building automation, meshes for screen-printing, solderable components and conductive textiles.
