In this webinar, we try to identify the promising materials for 5G infrastructure and smartphone and access the potential market. In this webinar, Dr Luyun Jiang will explore the following questions: where will we need low-loss materials?; what are the requirements for low-loss materials for mmWave 5G applications?; can thermosets materials compete with thermoplastics in the 5G market?; and how big is the market for low-loss materials?

 

 

Printed/flexible electronics is a constantly evolving area with extensive scope for innovation. These innovations span from technically advanced materials to novel manufacturing methodologies and cover a diverse set of applications that ranges from OLED displays to wearable healthcare patches. In this webinar Dr Dyson will discuss four technical innovations learned about in 2020. All demonstrate novelty, technical elegance, and commercial relevance. Specifically, these are: fully flexible thinned silicon integrated circuits (ICs). These enable processing capabilities previously associated with packaged ICs such as Bluetooth to be mounted on flexible/curved substrates; an OLED host material that prevents aggregation of emissive molecules, thus improving luminescent efficiency; metal gel based stretchable conductive traces, targeted at wearable electronics applications. This material does not fatigue following repeated stretching and enables robust attachment to rigid components; and solution processable inorganic LEDs, combing the efficiency and longevity of conventional LEDs with printability.

Each material is at a different stage of commercial maturity and development with a large amount of competition, drivers, and material variation within each: graphene is approaching the commercial realisation as production ramps up and notable orders are received; the Carbon Nanotube (CNT) market is at the cusp of significant growth after premature capacity expansions, this is predominantly driven by the application in lithium-ion batteries; and 2D materials and nanotubes beyond carbon are an exciting and diverse field but at a much earlier stage of development, predominantly in the domain of academic and industrial R&D. Based on extensive primary information and detailed analysis, this webinar will provide a detailed assessment and outlook for these advanced materials. The talk will highlight key developments, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, company performances, geographic variations, and application areas.
