A comprehensive series of high-strength epoxy and polyurethane adhesives provides encapsulation, insulation and bonding of electronic components and PCBs.
The Systems-in-Foil programme develops advanced polymeric materials for use in innovative barrier structures.
These barriers should meet the stringent industry requirements for use in foil-based OLED displays and should also enhance the lifetime of other foil-based organic devices such as OLED lighting, organic circuitry, solar cells, sensor systems.
The Systems-in-Foil programme targets the development of new device architectures, technologies and production processes for foil-based electronic devices which will revolutionise the electronics industry.
It will enable new ultra-light, ultra-thin, flexible, easy to use electronic products such as lighting and signage devices, re-usable and disposable sensor devices, foldable solar panels and displays.
The research addresses web-based processing (roll-to-roll), encompassing processes like printing, vacuum deposition, lithography, lamination and interconnection, which will enable the low-cost bulk manufacture of these devices.
"Holst Centre's research initiative perfectly fits our strategy to further increase our presence in the field of specialised polymer materials for the growing market of organic electronics" says Philippe Michaud, responsible for Research and Technology of Huntsman Advanced Materials.
"We are very pleased with this collaboration involving researchers from TNO, IMEC-NL and other key industry partners".
"We strongly believe that this shared research programme will significantly enhance and accelerate our own research and development capability, providing an important leverage effect on Huntsman's position in the domain of polymer materials for barrier layers in organic electronics".
