Imprint process can create flexible conductive grid

Transparent electronics devices are present in today's thin film displays, solar cells, and touchscreens. The future will bring flexible versions of such devices. Their production requires printable materials that are transparent and remain highly conductive even when deformed. Researchers at INM - Leibniz Institute for New Materials have combined a new self-assembling nano ink with an imprint process to create flexible conductive grids with...

Materials create state-of-the-art operating controls

The research scientists at INM have succeeded in manufacturing circuit paths on thin, elastic foil made of silicone. Since these are relatively insensitive to compression and elongation strain, the electrical circuits can adapt to the curvature of appliances. Industry and product designers have a strong interest in being able to install electrical circuits such as display elements or operating controls even on the shaped surfaces of electronic ap...

Flake-like nanoparticles offer rust protection

Research scientists at INM developed a special type of zinc-phosphate nanoparticles. In contrast to conventional, spheroidal zinc-phosphate nanoparticles, the new nanoparticles are flake-like. They are ten times as long as they are thick. As a result of this anisotropy, the penetration of gas molecules into the metal is slowed down. The developers will be demonstrating their results and the possibilities they offer at stand B46 in hall 2 at the H...

Ink combines organic and inorganic materials

Research scientists at INM have combined the benefits of organic and inorganic electronic materials in a new type of hybrid inks. This allows electronic circuits to be applied to paper directly from a pen, for example. The electronics of the future will be printed. Flexible circuits can be produced inexpensively on foil or paper using printing processes and permit futuristic designs with curved diodes or input elements.

Luminous pigments provide temperature stable protection

Research scientists at INM - Leibniz-Institute for New Materials have developed luminous particles that can also withstand high temperatures. When activated by UV light or x-rays, they glow orange red. Everyone knows the small UV lamps at cash desks in supermarkets. They are used to verify whether "big banknotes" are genuine. To do so, colourful snippets light up inside the note. The luminous particles which cause this consist of organic compound...

Robotic gripping surface for sensitive devices improves handling

Components with highly sensitive surfaces are used in automotive, semiconductor, display and optical technologies. During production, these parts have to be handled repeatedly by pick-and-place processes. The proprietary Gecomer principle reduces the risk of surface contamination with residues, and of mechanical damage due to gripping. In their latest version, researchers at the Leibniz Institute for New Materials (INM) have improved the adhesive...
