BRISTOL, UK and EINDHOVEN, NETHERLANDS – DuPont Electronics & Communications and Holst Centre have extended their printed electronics collaboration for the third time.

As a partner, DuPont will contribute new materials and research samples targeted toward Holst’s active projects in the areas of wearable electronics, in-mold electronics, consumer electronics and healthcare.

“In addition to advancing the technology, the collaboration provides us with valuable insights into the needs and requirements of other Holst partners, including end-users and equipment suppliers, enabling open innovation and accelerating product and application development,” said Kerry Adams, printed electronics market segment manager, DuPont.

In this next phase, the emphasis of the collaboration will be on developing and testing complementary material systems and creating working demonstrators and prototypes, with the development of commercial products as the end goal. In particular, the collaboration will focus on screen printed and ink-jet electronic inks and pastes, flat bed and roll-to-roll processing, and conventional oven and photonic curing/sintering systems.
