New industrial partner 4E Antenna creates patterned aluminum on paper
New industrial partner 4E Antenna creates patterned aluminum on paperThe Digital Cellulose Center is proud to announce that the component company 4E Antenna AB is our new industrial partner. 4E Antenna produces paper-based RFID antennas and production equipment, with fully recyclable materials, and without any hazardous chemicals. 4E Antenna's state-of-the-art RFID antenna is made of three parts: paper, aluminum, and glue.“We are happy to join the Digital Cellulose Center and to contribute...
Greentech power paper shows promise of storing solar energy
A new pilot study from the Digital Cellulose Center on a greentech power paper shows promise for high-capacity storage of renewable energy. The electronic paper is completely made of organic material and the first testing’s show that the energy storage capacity is as efficient as conventional technology.“The power papers energy storage capacity showed fantastic results in our pilot study, with the possibility of storing renewable energy on a large scale,” says Jesper Edberg, researcher at RISE...
Laser Induced Graphene from Wood Ink – Published!
A new publication by RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden) researchers within the Digital Cellulose Center has been released online in the journal npj Flexible Electronics. The report outlines how to create an electrically conducting material from a wood-based ink. The ink is environmentally friendly and sustainable being composed of lignin and cellulose from wood and dissolved in water. After the ink is deposited via screen-printing a laser is used to...
Grey scale and paper displays – Manuscript published!
Researchers from Linkoping University and RISE Acreo have collaborated on a project to produce greyscale and paper displays using conductive polymers and a UV-patterning technique. The displays rely on the electrochromic properties of the materials meaning the display will change with the onset of an applied voltage. The authors use a vapor synthesis technique and photomasks to embed images into conductive polymers which appear and disappear...
