Thermal interface materials enabling new applications

While there are obviously similarities, different applications have different key requirements of the TIMs. In all cases, the TIM needs to minimize stress, prevent electromigration of its fillers, and maximize adhesion. Thermal Interface Materials 2016-2026 explores in detail the relationship between the form factors and characteristics of different commercial product offerings and their applications, focused Read more about Thermal interface materials enabling new applications[…]

Wearable sensors once again dominated discussion throughout the day, with latest examples of options in MEMS, textiles and more presented at length in the conference. Additional discussions throughout the day Read more about Sensors driving next-generation wearable devices[…]

Flexible, printed and thin film batteries: A new era for energy storage

The battery market has suddenly become alive again in recent years. On the one hand, batteries are assuming new form factors, becoming ultra-thin, flexible, rollable, stretchable, etc. On the other hand, manufacturing are scrambling to offer large batteries aimed at addressing the large-sized electric vehicle and grid applications. For the past three years, IDTechEx Research Read more about Flexible, printed and thin film batteries: A new era for energy storage[…]

A new materials for wearable and flexible electronics market

A new materials package developed by Xerox Research Centre of Canada (XRCC) and NanoIntegris, a subsidiary of Raymor Industries, will help advance the rapidly expanding wearable and flexible electronics market. The thin film transistor package combines a novel dielectric ink developed at the XRCC, with a high purity, single-walled carbon nanotube ink developed by NanoIntegris.
