Smart Tires by Silent Sensors, Energy Harvesting, RFID for rubbers elastomers, polymers
Posted by – August 1, 2018
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.

Ares Materials PolyLux Polysulfide Polymers for Flexible Electronics
Posted by – August 1, 2018
Category: Exclusive videos, IDTechEx
Ares Materials Inc (http://aresmaterials.com) develops transparent polysulfide polymer named PyLux for flexible displays, wearable and embedded electronics. They are transparent and easily adaptable and processable and available in 4 product lines- H, MF, W & ATB. The high transparency, low colour,ultra-low birefringence and low haze of Pylux films allow for clear and high-fidelity transmission of light directly through the polymer. This allows Pylux to be incorporated into the optical path of flexible display manufacturing thus reducing the manufacturing cost.
- PyLux-W: act as a combined optically clear adhesive (OCA) and anti-shock protection layer, replacing two layers in the front-plane of display with one.
- PyLux-MF: designed as substrates for microfabrication of thin-film components at temperatures up to 300 °C, blending excellent thermal stability, chemical compatibility and optical clarity.
- PyLux-H: an ideal polymer for flexible cover lens and flexible touch panel substrate as it has high surface hardness and increased glass transition temperature.
- PyLux-ATB: offers a low-cost, high-yield (peel-off) release method for a variety of polymer films that require attachment to a rigid carrier for microfabrication processing and it withstands upto 500oC.

Broadbit battery update: Revolutionary sodium-based green battery technology
Posted by – July 25, 2018
BroadBit has developed a novel low-cost, high-performance, robust, eco-friendly, scalable sodium chloride (table salt) battery technology. BroadBit is commercializing the technology for applications in electric vehicles, portable electronics and grid stabilization. In addition to sodium chloride, the other key ingredients of the battery are cheap and abundant silicon oxide (sand), carbon (coal) and sulfur (waste product of petrolium refining). BroadBit believes that, with its innovations, it can grow the rechargeable battery market from today’s 60B$ to greater than 1T$ in the coming decade.
Compared to Li-ion, BroadBit offers:
– 50% higher energy stored per unit cost
– 25% higher energy per unit weight
– Better environmental friendliness, scalability and sustainability
– Simpler manufacturing than Lithium-ion (fewer steps, no need for inert environment)
– Higher Safety (no flammable electrolyte and reduced risk of shorting)
– Improved robustness:
– can withstand rapid temperature cycling between -20 and +60 C,
– can be repeatedly fully discharged and restarted without damage,
– can be safely overcharged without explosion or damage and
– are non-flamable

First Graphene flame resistant coating
Posted by – July 24, 2018
IDTechEx Research Director Dr Khasha Ghaffarzadeh, Interviews Dr Andy Goodwin, Advanced Materials Advisor, and Warwick Grigor, Non-Executive Chairman of First Graphene on their fire retardant additive at the IDTechEx Show! Europe 2018.
First Graphene is an advanced materials company seeking to position itself in the lowest cost decile of global graphene suppliers. It has developed an environmentally sound and safe method of converting its supplies of ultra-high grade Sri Lankan graphite into the lowest cost highest quality graphene, in bulk quantities. In so doing it is addressing the three greatest impediments to the commercialisation of graphene, being reliable quality at realistic prices in sufficient volumes to facilitate the development of applications in modern materials, energy storage devices, coatings and polymers. It aims to use these competitive advantages to access new technologies and processes and in turn gain maximum leverage to the entire graphene supply chain, from sourcing the raw material to end use, with development of associated intellectual property for licencing and sales.
