Clemson's Printed Electronics 101 seminar is set to take place Oct. 28-29 at Clemson University, Clemson, SC. Hosted by Clemson University’s Sonoco Institute of Packaging Design and Graphics, the seminar will feature experts who will discuss the printed electronic markets, technology, practices, manufacturing and growth opportunities, all reinforced with engaging hands-on printing activities, resulting in take-away samples.

Among the presenters are Dr. Bruce Kahn, Printed Electronics Consulting and a leading educator and consultant in the field of printed electronics; Dr. Bill Ray, chief scientist at Nth Degree and a pioneer in graphics technology now applied to mass-production of printed electronics; and Jay Sperry, research associate at Clemson, who will takes an in-depth look at printing technology and its fit for printed electronics manufacturing.

Hands-on sessions will include programs on Conductive Inks and Flexographic Printing; Multi-layered, Roll-to-Roll Production Printing; and Device Building with Flat-Bed Screen Printing.

An optional “primer day” will be held the afternoon of Wednesday, October 27, 2010 for those who would like to learn or brush up on printing processes for printed electronics and basic electronics.

The seminar is limited to 24 attendees to ensure small groups for hands-on activities, so interested people should register now to secure space. The cost is $595 per person. For more information, check the web at http://www.clemson.edu/sonoco_institute/service/seminars/printed-electronics.html.
