Thin Films and Nanotechnology for Power

Abstract:
Electrical and electronic thin film technology increasingly involves printing, often for providing power to electronic and electrical devices. Now, that even includes providing the power that moves a car along the road.

Printed electronics and electrics will be a $335 billion business in twenty years, just for devices primarily made by printing with electronic inks. Beyond this are uses for thin film electronics in devices that are not primarily made in this way as yet. Traction batteries for cars are an example of this.
