Paula Pinyol, project partner from Eurecat, has participated in the 16th International Symposium on Flexible Organic Electronics (ISFOE23), celebrated in Thessaloniki (Greece) on July 3rd-6th, 2023. During the event, she exhibited a poster based on MADRAS research entitled “In-mold OPV: improved organic photovoltaic modules properties under injection molding”. The work was included in the session…
The EU-funded MADRAS project has enabled a scalable manufacturing process of organic electronics with new green advanced materials. The project’s innovative technology, including nanocellulose-based substrates and conductive and semiconducting inks, applied on devices processed through in-mould electronics, has paved the way for the production of robust, flexible, and cost-effective integrated products. These innovations have been…
Gael Deprës and Arnaud Benard, project partners from Fedrigoni, have attended the TAPPI Nanotechnology Conference, celebrated on June 12th-16th, 2023, in Vancouver (Canada). During the event, they exhibited a poster based on MADRAS research entitled “Investigation of cellulose phosphorylation using a design of experiment approach for transparent and flame-retardant nanocellulose materials”. The poster presents the…
Project partners Ignasi Burgués, from Eurecat, Roar Rønnow Søndergaard and Jon Eggert Carlé, from infinityPV, shared achievements of the MADRAS project at the 15th International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics, which took place on June 12th-14th, 2023, at the Senate House University Library of the University of London (England). InfinityPV had its stand and…
Fedrigoni’s role in the MADRAS project is to produce a transparent flexible substrate for the development of a geotracking battery-free flexible tag. Fedrigoni opted to produce the substrate based on cellulose materials and, more precisely, phosphorylated cellulose nanomaterials. According to literature, cellulose phosphorylation is mainly carried out by reacting cellulose with urea and phosphoric acid.…
The MADRAS project has been disseminated by project coordinator Eurecat during the Food4Future expo that took place on May 16th-18th, 2023, in Bilbao (Spain). In particular, Eurecat exhibited the geotracking flexible tag developed within the project by detailing the four steps that were taken for its development. These steps were shown in order: printed electronics,…
It is well known that it can be very challenging to transform a process developed in the laboratory into a procedure that can be applied in large scale manufacturing. Where work in the laboratory is mainly focused on the actual “development of something new”, issues like scalability, materials cost, material consumption, safety, sustainability, etc. become…
Plastronics, also known as In Mold Electronics (IME), is an emerging technology that combines electronics and plastic materials with the aim to obtain products with high added value by providing them with advanced functions or features. Through the combination of functional printing and hybridisation of electronic components with traditional processes like injection moulding and thermoforming,…
As part of its standardisation activities, the MADRAS project has kicked off a CEN-CENELEC workshop on advanced materials and processing in organic electronics. The initial meeting was held on November 2nd on an online format. The Spanish Association for Standardisation (UNE) was the organiser of the event. The objective of this workshop, which will last…
