The Internet of Things (IoT) has played an increasingly significant role in daily life due in large part by innovations in the world of printed electronics and conductive ink technology. These advancements have expanded access to cost effective, reliable printed circuitry solutions that can be mass-produced, paving the way for new applications with functionalities previously not thought possible.
This Tek Tip addresses a common challenge in the manufacturing of printed electronics that require temperature-sensitive substrates, such as medical wearable devices or smart packaging applications: pairing them with the right conductive materials that won’t compromise their thermal stability during the manufacturing process.
Reliatrace uses Henkel's WIK20816-9 PTC ink from Tekra in its new direct-to-consumer dough riser product, the Raisenne® Dough Riser, which creates the ideal temperature to proof dough quickly and consistently with self-regulated heating technology.
