The creation of this prototype is part of the MADRAS project, funded by the Horizon 2020 research and innovation program of the European Commission. Cooltra goes one step further in security measures and joins the creation of this sensor with the aim of facilitating user access to their vehicles and helping to preserve their identity.…
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…
The implementation of these materials in the manufacture of electronic devices offers viable alternatives to conventional inorganic conductors and semiconductors, such as copper or silicon. Eurecat, coordinator of the MADRAS project, has presented the innovations at the LOPEC fair, the reference event in printed electronics held in Munich. The Eurecat technology center coordinates the European…
A set of new sustainable materials with enhanced electrical and optical properties has been produced within the European-funded MADRAS project and used for the development of flexible organic and large-area electronics (OLAE) products. These materials, including a nanocellulose substrate and inks based on silver nanowires, PEDOT and tungsten oxide, are built for an industrially scalable…
The research is part of the European MADRAS project which will enable mass production of this type of electronics, known as OLAE, for accelerated time-to-market. Seen as a viable alternative to conventional electronics, OLAE devices include organic electronics printed on flexible surfaces such as plastic or paper. Their applications range from producing smart packaging, roll-up…
