While the field of printed electronics (PE) has much potential, there are also challenges to be met. In order to reach its potential, printed electronics will need to be produced in roll-to-roll processes. That requires that new materials be developed and standards created. With an eye toward this need, the MaDriX project was formed in Germany.Funded by the BMBF (Federal Ministry of Education and Research), MaDriX brings together PE manufacturer PolyIC, chemical manufacturers BASF, Evonik Industries and ELANTAS Beck, and Siemens, which is providing the inspection systems. These companies are working together to develop a uniform understanding about the requirements of the new materials required by PE. Through MaDriX, material parameters will be determined and an unvarying test environment for new materials introduced. By doing so, companies can develop new materials quickly and more efficiently. By standardizing test conditions facilitates using a s
