New Product - Creative Materials introduces 126-40, a flexible solvent-resistant electrically conductive fine line ink and adhesive.

Thermal management is one of the most important considerations for all consumer electronics. The rise of 5G-enabled smartphones brings an increase in challenges.

Thursday 12 November 2020 - Emerging Applications for Printed/Flexible Electronics. This webinar includes a Q&A session. Emerging applications that will be discussed in the webinar include: Electronic skin patches; Building integrated electronics; and Sticker electronics.

DELO has developed adhesives that have similar properties to (double-sided) adhesive tapes but are applied in liquid form. This helps users save time and costs in the production process.

Essentium introduces industry-first anti-static material to advance additive manufacturing applications in the aerospace and defense industries. TPU 58D-AS is an electrostatic discharge safe and anti-static thermoplastic polyurethane filament that is available for the first time in color.

Researchers have cracked the conundrum of how to use inks to 3D-print novel electronic devices with useful properties, such as an ability to convert light into electricity. The study shows that it is possible to jet inks, containing tiny flakes of 2D materials such as graphene, to build up and mesh together the different layers of these complex, customised structures.

Uniquely, the new IDTechEx Research report analyses and forecasts the major disruptive opportunities for radically new city materials, equipment and systems totalling a $1.7 trillion market in 2041.

Integrated Graphene Ltd has fired the starting pistol on scaled production of its unique breakthrough 3D graphene foam, Gii, following the completion of a £3.1 million round of investment in the business, led by Edinburgh-based business angel syndicate, Archangels, with co-investment from Par Equity, Techstart Ventures and ESM Investments.

Our metropolises need new traffic concepts and our vehicles need new drives. Climate change, shortage of raw materials and the impending traffic gridlocks are forcing a switch to post-fossil energy sources. The solution is: Electromobility.

IDTechEx have released a new market research report on the topic of smart cities markets - trillions of dollars on reinvented energy, food, water, transport, sensing, multipurpose materials.

IDTechEx have released a new market research report on the topic of 3D printed materials - taking into account the effect of COVID-19. IDTechEx predicts that the global market for 3D printing materials will be worth $18.4 billion in 2030.

Royal DSM has announced Somos® QuickGen 500, a game-changing, fast-printing, general purpose engineered resin for digital light processing (DLP) and liquid crystal display (LCD) 3D printing.

OrelTech has developed a particle-free conductive ink that can be metallized at 70 C or below using a cold-plasma process. The inks are compatible with a wide range of substrates and printing methods. Especially notable is the ability to print transparent conductive films from thin layers of silver.

Graphene is the much lauded and hyped wonder material set to enable the next generation of advanced technologies and the Stirling based outfit, Integrated Graphene are set to launch their first graphene-enhanced product.

This IDTechEx Premium Articles provides detailed analysis of how graphene can be used in current and next-generation lithium-ion batteries

Researchers have developed a new graphene-based testing system for disease-related antibodies, initially targeting a kidney disease called Membranous Nephropathy.

IDTechEx report, "Solar Vehicles 2021-2041" notes that cars with solar bodywork have long range. Tough sell. Even longer range is being achieved by those crudely shoving in an enormous battery.

IGas are pleased to announce a further step in its strategy to be well placed in the energy transition by entering into heads of terms with BayoTech, a manufacturer of modular hydrogen generation systems, to produce hydrogen from certain of IGas' existing gas resources.

Smart cities will use photovoltaics on a huge variety of ground surfaces. The technology got off to a faltering start because the early proponents like Bouygues Colas in France and Pavergy in China tried to begin with the toughest challenge of all - heavily used roads supporting even Class 8 trucks.
