There is a dramatic change in some industries, with leading printed electronics vendors moving quickly to capitalize on the new sought after capabilities.

These opportunities will be addressed at the Printed Electronics Europe exhibition and conference in Berlin on May 13-14.

Flexible and Printed Electronics in Mobility
Take for example vehicles, which are moving increasingly away from using internal combustion engines (ICE) to electric drive systems, the shift occurring at faster rates than many had expected. The move to electric drive systems offers many opportunities for those in printed electronics. For example, power semiconductors will be used over conventional silicon integrated circuits to handle the higher power transfer, resulting in a need for more appropriate semiconductor packaging materials to dissipate the heat. Silver nanoparticle materials and graphene are already in use by Tes
