FLEXINAR: Designing Lasting Performance in Flexible Electronics (Presented by YUASA)


Online (GoToWebinar)
Cost: $0
Members and Government Partners Only

New form factors in components and products are continuously being introduced today. Some examples of products for personal use are foldable smartphones, wearable sensors, and smart IoT speakers with AI. Examples of components are curved screens, metal ink compounds, bendable batteries, and bendable antennas. New material components will be needed for electric and autonomous vehicles, and elsewhere.

As the design of our future electronics systems shifts from their past rigid state to being made from flexible hybrid materials and components, innovators will require new methods to design continuous and lasting mechanical performance into their product designs, as well as new methods for testing those new products.

What will be needed is a series of unique, scalable, and modular mechanical endurance testing solutions for ambient and hostile conditions, with the added ability of measuring the performance of the flexible components throughout the enhanced testing cycle.

Those testing solutions may include, as examples, flexing, stretching, rolling, twisting, and bending machines. You may wish to increase the stress during testing to the breaking point, to determine the limits of the components. And you may wish to use equipment that allows you to test twisting, for example, without tension to better understand how the component reacts to different types of stress.

The machines should provide the capability of simultaneously making measurements of resistance, temperature, tension, capacitance, etc., of the components as they are undergoing testing in order to provide information that can be used for worst-case design.

YUASA SYSTEMS is marking its twenty-fifth anniversary by reaffirming its US tailored support programs available to all innovators from academia, government, corporations, and start-ups by making available, on a permanent basis, its cutting-edge flexible hybrid electronics solutions at NextFlex in San Jose, California.
