DuPont announced that it has been named winner of five 2022 R&D100 Awards in the Mechanical/Materials category. The R&D 100 Awards, sponsored by R&D World Magazine, recognizes the 100 most innovative technologies of the previous year.
The awards add to DuPont’s streak of new product innovation, having 22 finalists and 10 R&D 100 winners in the last five years.
“Innovation is at the center of everything we do at DuPont, and receiving this award exemplifies DuPont’s tireless pursuit of outcome-driven research that is driving growth in our strategic focus areas,” said Alexa Dembek, DuPont chief technology & sustainability officer. “I’m so proud of the innovation and ingenuity our teams contribute every day to translate cutting-edge thinking into customer impact while living our purpose to empower the world with essential innovations to thrive.”
DuPont winning technologies include:
KapFlo: Clear Polyimides without compromising High Temperature Stability for Next Generation OLED Smartphone Displays – Smartphone manufacturers have been trying numerous ways to create a truly edge-to-edge display that reaches all four edges of the frame with no interruption. This requires a flexible, optically clear, and high-temperature stable polymer as OLED substrate material. KapFlo is the first of its kind material to enable this technology.
