Facebook X LinkedIn Email
LONDON, Dec. 8, 2009 – A new £28 million (about $45.5 million) government strategy was launched yesterday to ensure that the UK remains a global leader in the high-growth and environmentally friendly plastic electronics industry. Plastic electronics technology allows circuits to be printed onto any surface and over large areas and, as a low-cost alternative to conventional silicon-based electronics, will lead to the creation of new generations of products, including smart systems that integrate components such as sensors, batteries and displays. Officials cited statistics showing that, while the global...Read full article
