or wireless, battery-free sensors integrated into floors, planes and wind turbines. These polymers bring a great deal of subtlety to applications such as haptic actuators in smart gloves, which can give the user the illusion of touching stone or velvet. This represents major progress compared with classic actuators, which vibrate like crazy.
What role does Arkema play in this market?
F. D. D. S. – Arkema is a driving force: As a designer and supplier of value-added polymer materials, we are at the base of the innovation creation chain in this market. Given the high number of sectors that demand organic and printed electronics – telephony, automotive, printing, medicine, home automation – the range of applications in which our products can be found is very wide. These are very promising markets, such as smart objects, printed sensors and wearables, estimated at nearly €52 billion by 2025. >>>
