Printed Electronics in the fast lane: Paste technologies driving tomorrow’s mobility

Printed electronics are rapidly transforming the automotive industry, enabling smarter, lighter, and more integrated components. This talk focuses on the development of functional pastes for key automotive applications.
Depending on the use case, such as touch interfaces with In-Mold Electronics (IME), sensors, or heating elements, specific requirements must be met regarding electrical properties, adhesion, flexibility, thermal stability, and processability. The complexity of these applications demands precise tuning of paste formulations to match the substrate, printing method, and final function within the vehicle. Application-specific customization and deep technical understanding are essential to ensure reliable and durable solutions.
