Industry Trio Taking Printed Electronics Research Project into Industrial-Scale Phase

In parallel, BASF researchers are developing printable suspensions for organic electronics that can be processed at low temperatures. Again, this is a challenge for material development because the components and their interaction have to be completely newly adjusted to the printing conditions. These materials should enable the production of components on inexpensive flexible polymer foils using the roll-to-roll printing method.

About the Leading-Edge Cluster
The Leading-Edge Cluster “Forum Organic Electronics” is a cooperative network which currently consists of three DAX-listed companies, eight international corporations, five mid-sized companies and eleven research institutes and universities, including two elite universities. The cluster’s goals include achieving the position of international leader as a location for research, development, and production in organic electronics, creating one of the most attractive locations for young researchers, specialists, and managers, and establishing the world’s leading innovation center for knowledge transfer and company start-ups. The 27 companies, universities, and research institutes work jointly on the research projects in the cutting-edge field of organic electronics which are funded by the BMBF to the value of €40 million.
