Innovative Advanced Materials (IAMs)

printed and flexible electronics for the development of low-cost and environmentally friendly sensors (temperature, pressure, pH, gas, humidity, etc.), batteries and supercaps, and actuators (piezo-, thermo-, photo- and opto-), using novel functional inks (conductive, dielectric, etc.; metal-based, graphene-based, etc.) adaptable to various substrates and additive printing technologies (screen printing and inkjet printing, etc.) for devices with improved energy efficiency, sustainability, flexibility, stretchability and durability;

applications in:

• ENERGY (printed batteries, energy storage, power generation, energy harvesting);

• MOBILITY (driver and passenger monitoring, battery monitoring, temperature monitoring, adaptive and smart surfaces, infotainment and connectivity, aerospace and aviation, aerospace and defence);

• CONSTRUCTION (Environmental Monitoring and Control, Smart Buildings, Structural Health Monitoring, Smart Infrastructure);

• ELECTRONICS and HEALTH (Flexible and Wearable, Environmental and Chemical Sensors, Touch and Pressure Sensors, Micro- Sensors and Actuators, Security and Authentication, Optoelectronics and Photonics, Spintronics, Medical Sensors).
