High mobility Printed Networks of 2D Semiconductors for Advanced Electronics (HYPERSONIC). University of Antwerp
NanoCopper for Printed Electronics - NACUPEL Ghent University
NACUPEL aims at adding value to the synthesis method for nanocopper recently developed at Ghent University by demonstrating that the approach makes possible the upscaled production of nanocopper, the formulation of nanocopper inks and the printing of conductive features.
Transfer printing of crystalline materials for flexible and stretchable electronics KU Leuven
The morphology and crystalline structure of thin WSM (Weyl semimetals) films will be studied with XRD, SEM, and TEM. Then, A method to pattern electrodes on the surface of the WSM will be developed. Since WSM are extremely sensitive to their environment, the electrodes must be patterned under a nitrogen atmosphere and avoid the use of solvents. Hence, methods such as microcontact printing or liquid metal dispensing will be explored.
Dynamic covalent chemistry for sustainable electronics Ghent University
In the last decade, the average number of electronic devices per person has increased drastically. In the meantime, due to the rapid development of new technology, the lifespan of those devices has been considerably reduced, which is causing serious increases in e-waste. In this context, the aim of this research proposal is the implementation of dynamic chemistries in electronic devices to ease the disassembly and recycling of such e-waste, ...
Active and passive components for resonant converters in wide voltage power electronics applications KU Leuven
The use of passive components (transformers, idcutors, capacitors) can be employed to increase the number of degrees of freedom available for optimization procedures, extending the options to meet the demands of wide voltage range, high efficiency and high-level power. Additionally, due to the availability of high frequency magnetic materials and 3D printing techniques, the implementation of this approach might become easier and cost ...
Understanding liquid metal deposition for the production of stretchable electronics from 2D manufacturing, over 3D to continuous processing Hasselt University
Truly Sustainable Printed Electronics-based IoT Combining Optical and Radio Wireless Technologies KU Leuven
SUPERIOT aims at developing a truly sustainable and highly flexible IoT system based on the use of optical and radio communications, and the exploitation of printed electronics technology for the implementation of sustainable IoT nodes. The dual-mode optical-radio approach provides unique characteristics to the IoT system. The system can be reconfigured to use optical, radio, or both connectivity approaches. The hybrid optical-radio system ...
Printed thermoelectric generators KU Leuven
Printed organic photovoltaics for energy harvesting in smart contact lenses Ghent University
Smart contact lenses (SCL), composed of electronics integrated into traditional contact lenses, will greatly contribute to the next generation of wearable and biomedical devices. However, their small size and close contact with the body challenge their potential. Power autonomy is an issue owing to the lack of long-lasting batteries that are small and flexible enough to be imperceptible by the user. A solution to this issue is to integrate ...
