Electronics Industry

The electronics industry faces several significant challenges today, including the need to address environmental impacts, ensure responsible sourcing of raw materials, and keep up with rapidly evolving technologies. The production of electronic devices requires the use of many resources, including rare earth metals and other materials that have a significant impact on the environment. Cellulose nanocrystals are natural and biodegradable, making them an excellent raw material for addressing some of these challenges.

Flexible displays: TONACELL® can be used to develop flexible displays such as those used in smartphones, smartwatches and other electronic devices. They can enhance the mechanical properties of the flexible substrates used in these displays, making them more durable and resistant to cracking or breaking. They can also aid in the dispersion and suspension of other materials to aid in the uniformity of the display.

Transparent Conductive Films: TONACELL® can be used to develop transparent conductive films for touch screens, flat panel displays and solar cells. They enhance the film's homogeneity and mechanical properties while maintaining its transparency to produce more efficient and durable electronic devices.

Printed electronics: TONACELL® can be used to develop printed electronics such as sensors, antennas and conductive traces. They enhance the printability and mechanical properties of printed materials to produce more reliable and durable electronic devices. They can be used to produce biodegradable inks.

Energy storage: TONACELL® can be used to develop energy storage devices such as batteries and supercapacitors. They improve the mechanical properties and performance of electrodes to produce greener, more efficient and durable energy storage devices.
