Speaker: John Yundt | Company: SunRay Scientific | Date: 12-13 October 2022 | Full Presentation Advancements in the development of flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) technologies and materials continue to progress rapidly; however, reliable, high-volume manufacturing of complex FHE-based products remains elusive. This issue becomes even more into focus when the objective is for printable, wearable technologies. Due to the nature of the stresses applied during use, such stretchable devices are expected to be mechanically robust and sustain their electrical performance under high tensile strain. Most of these stretchable electronic devices are hybrid in nature, comprising both soft and rigid electronic components. Hence, robust and reliable electrical interconnections between these soft and rigid components is necessary to ensure proper functionality of the device. Interconnections between the electrically functional control systems and wearable e-textile materials have a variety of current, traditional methods, such as high pressure and high temperature Anisotropic Conductive Adhesives (ACA), solder, snap/cinch connections, and isotropic epoxy adhesives. Each of these electrical connections pose issues with the necessary material sets for wearables/e-textile materials. There are significant drawbacks related to mechanical and/or thermal damage during the connection process; poor mechanical adhesion; inability to connect standard-pitch functional devices; and lack of robustness...

We will also discuss how Nanowires are formulated into various inks and coatings incorporating our proprietary Nanoglue™ chemical fusing technology which engenders the best in-class solution coated transparent conductor; these conductive coatings have outstanding flexibility and mechanical properties and are compatible with a broad array of flexible, stretchable, and formable films. C3Nano will also describe a technology breakthrough wherein its new ActiveGrid™ LT ink series can be cured at room temperature incredibly quickly (~25 C for 1 min) to impart electrical conductivity to a variety of low Tg, soft, bio-compatible, and low-cost substrates targeting applications in life-sciences, packaging, displays, consumables, and anti-statics, among others. C3Nano will also explain how its NWs and Ultra-NWs are ideal conductive fillers achieving excellent conductivities at extremely low volume fract...

Speaker: Mike Hopkins | Company: LiquidWire | Date: 12-13 October 2022 | Full Presentation User interfaces with machines have long relied on tactile feedback to give crucial information to users. Whether pressure felt through a steering wheel or a clear detent on a pushbutton, people intuitively rely on this type of embodied information to communicate the state of the system under control. As machines incorporate more robotic elements this tactile feedback will need to become a 2 way street. Textiles, which are the only artificial technology human beings tolerate being in constant close physical contact with, provide an ideal platform for both sensing and active haptic communication between robots and the people who they serve. Incorporating smart textiles into apparel and active upholstery such as anti-bed sore platforms will pave the way for advanced soft robotics that can operate comfortably in close contact with people.

through printed electronics. Speaker: Aad van der Spuij | Company: Henkel | Date: 12-13 October 2022 | Full Presentation Step into smart buildings of the future and you might not see a difference. Combining the scalability of coatings and building materials contemporary sensing techniques opens-up an incredible range of possibilities for predictive, preventative, and responsive maintenance. For Henkel, a global leader in specialized and cross-functional ink formulations for printed electronics, and Laiier a smart surface technology provider, the next decade will see the rise of smart buildings that integrate new capabilities into the built environment. Whether it’s office facilities that warn of leaking pipes, walls that heat our rooms, or floors that tell us when an elderly relative has suffered a fall, many of the core technologies are already here. Today, the challenge besides the technology innovation is more about building networks and creating markets. The presentation will cover the unique ecosystem required to bring this vision to life that includes the whole value chain from construction, materials, manufacturing industry to IoT integrators. The session will take the attendees through technical explanations and customer use cases demonstrating clear ROIs and customer insights.

Speaker: Tom Eldridge | Company: Chasm | Date: 12-13 October 2022 | Full Presentation As industries evolve, designers are challenging the fundamental nature of materials and using carbon nanotubes, and nanotube hybrids, to exceed limitations once imposed by existing materials. Carbon nanotube technology is ushering in a new era of printed electronics, introducing transparent solutions for printed electronics that push the boundaries previously known for strength, reliability, and performance. In this presentation, we will review several existing commercial applications of carbon nanotubes for printed electronics in the automotive, aerospace, healthcare, and consumer electronics industries. As optical cameras, RADAR & LiDar sensors, antennas and other innovations continue to become ubiquitous within these devices, new nanocarbon technology continues to evolve delivering heating, connectivity, and other performance advancements with full transparency and without the use of wires. Simply put, cutting edge-developments happening now using nanotechnology are the biggest innovations in the printed electronics industry that you will never see.
