Our state-of-the-art foil processing and printing platform and unique expertise in microsystems at EPFL-LMTS allow cutting edge R&D on foil based smart systems. We are developing sensors, energy harvesting and integration technologies for the fabrication of energy efficient systems on polymeric, elastomeric, cellulosic and biodegradable substrates. Sensing, energy harvesting and storage, printing, and integration technologies for multi-layers flexible and stretchable hybrid systems are our core activities. We also have extended experience in transferring technology from R&D into viable products and processes for industry.
