VSParticle (http://vsparticle.com) Spun out of the research labs of TU Delft with over 20 years of experience in the synthesis of aerosols, the VSP-G1 nanoparticle generator provides researchers with the possibility to perform ground-breaking research within the field of nanomaterials without the limitations of common generation methods and materials.
Marcus Taylor, CEO of Silent Sensors (http://silentsensors.com) demonstrates their Energy Harvesting and RFID products for use in rubbers elastomers and polymers, with a special focus on tires. Tires, first and foremost, are safety products. About 20% of all accidents on the road are caused by underinflated tires. Underinflated tires also translate into increased fuel consumption and increased tire wear. All the components they use have to be automotive grade.
At the IDTechEx Show! Europe, Silent Sensors introduced a new supercapacitor that is very flexible and able to withstand high temperatures, which is necessary for tire manufacture and production.

BotFactory brings the future of electronic circuit fabrication to your desktop with our line of PCB Printers
Just like a 3D Printer, their small circuit printers allows users to prototype in minutes instead of weeks, all at the click of a button. After pulling the Squink or SV2 PCB Printer from the box, users are guided through a seamless process that will take users from a bare substrate to a fully assembled and functional circuit board in a matter of minutes.
Each PCB Printer includes an inkjet printhead that can dispense very fine droplets of conductive ink and insulating ink, allowing users to create multilayered rigid and flexible circuits on FR-4, Kapton or any substrate of your choice.
In addition, each printer has two heads for dispensing glues and solder pastes, and another to pick-and-place components, allowing users to assemble PCBs right at the users desktop.

Fujikura Kasei Co., Ltd. is a polymer resin manufacturer, they have challenged innovative technological development as a chemical manufacturer and developed high value-added products including DOTITE, electrically conductive paste, since its foundation.
Holst Centre demonstrated next-gen technology that integrates the fingerprint sensor into the display. Using flat-panel display (FPD) compatible processes, Holst Centre researchers created a 6×8-cm, 200 ppi active matrix imager with a solution-processed, ultrathin organic photodiode frontplane and an IGZOTFT backplane. The imager was demonstrated in a biometric palm print and multiple-finger detector. They believe the palm print is a more secure biometric than fingerprint scanning; and the processing of all building blocks in the palm print imager is compatible with existing FPD technology platform.
