Inkron introduces a solvent-free metallization product for the Internet of Things

MUNICH – LOPEC 2015 – 3/3/2015 Inkron Oy revealed its latest product offering providing a critical solution for the fabrication of low cost electronics for the Internet of Things including wearables and sensors. A study of high volume roll-to-roll printing of organic electronics revealed an Inkron product as the preferred material of choice.

In a publication in the January 2015 issue of Organic Electronics, authors by VTT and BASF highlighted Inkron’s IPC-114 product as the preferred material for the fabrication of the gate metal layer in a R2R printed organic transistor process. A key benefit of this product is its solvent-less nature thereby avoiding damage to the underlying organic device layers (e.g. dielectric and/or semiconductor) that often degrades the transistor performance when traditional solvent-based metal inks are being used. Further, the IPC-114 product is fully compatible with a R2R rotary screen-printing process and temperature-sensitive substrates, and provides metal films with electrical conductivity well exceeding the current requirements of printed organic transistors and circuitry.
