PROJECT INFORMATION

DESCRIPTION

The project has focused on developing flexible electronics solutions based on lightweight electrically conductive materials, such as conductive inks printed on flexible plastic sheets and conductive plastics, which allow them to be adapted to complex geometries. Thanks to these devices, it will be possible to integrate in vehicles everything from electromagnetic shielding elements to avoid interference to capacitive surfaces that allow the elimination of elements such as buttons, screens, LEDs or circuits. This contributes to the development of intelligent, safer and more efficient vehicles that are lighter in weight and, therefore, more environmentally sustainable thanks to a reduction in fuel consumption and, therefore, emissions.
