Research organizations are conducting tremendous amounts of R&D in the field of flexible and printed electronics, and it should come as no surprise that the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft e.V. with its institutes is among the leaders in that regard. With 66 individual institutes covering a wide range of disciplines, the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft has the expertise to create new technologies for this growing field.
One example comes from the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research ISC, which recently highlighted new multifunctional materials at Printed Electronics Europe 2015 in Berlin. Fraunhofer ISC showcased barrier materials, printed electronics, electrochromic films and smart materials. In particular, the ORMOCER®s barrier films are already being used in pilot manufacturing of flexible and printed electronics, from displays to radio-frequency identification (RFID). ORMOCER®s are a material class of inorganic-organic hybrid polymers based on chemical nanotechnology app
