Brewer Science presentation on next gen sensors
Brewer Science's Adam Scotch, director, R&D, Smart Devices will be presenting 'Implementation of New Materials and Printed Electronics for Monitoring the Environment' at 'The Future of Electronics Reshaped' event in Boston, Massachusetts on the 13th June, 2024.
For the last decade, Brewer Science has developed materials and technology to print cost-effective sensors that can measure contaminants in water, such as heavy metals, as well as sensors that assess air quality by measuring gases like carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and oxygen.
There have been decades of progress in conductive inks, driven by applications such as membrane switches, resistive heaters, RFID tags, photovoltaics, and RF antennas. But the next wave of development, says Brewer, will be in the creation of new printable materials such as low-loss dielectrics, porous membranes, ion-selective membranes, optical materials, and environmental protection layers (encapsulants).
Adam Scotch will present an overview of developments and address key technology challenges. These include developing low-cost sensors that are affordable for widespread use; scalability to ensure sensors can be deployed over vast areas; real-time monitoring; and technological advancements for overcoming barriers in the development of printable functional inks and materials, especially electrically non-conductive materials, crucial for the advancement of additively manufactured electronics (AME).
