(PlasticsToday) -- "Developing technological applications for future electronics" is the primary mission of a new research facility set up by Bayer MaterialScience in Singapore.
Using self-developed material technologies, Bayer MaterialScience will pursue joint projects at the center with collaboration partners to create advanced technological breakthroughs in electronics. These include functional films that can be applied to flexible screens and 3D displays, and nanomaterials like conductive inks used in printed electronics or energy-efficient lighting technologies.
The functional films center will initially address opportunities in Korea, Taiwan, and Japan, and eventually the whole of Asia Pacific including South East Asia. Potential applications for these functional films include mainly information technology, automotive and electronics industries, but also areas such as climate protection.
