Electrically Conductive Adhesives Disrupt Electronics

The advancement of nanomaterials has created an opportunity to expand electronics beyond traditional solders to bendable, flexible adhesives. Together with the University of Waterloo, Microbonds, Celestica, Engage Biometrics, and Juniper are developing nanomaterials for electrically conductive adhesives (EDAs).

ReMAP M4 Electrically Conductive Adhesives ECAs focuses developing ECA materials that support larger process windows, higher density interconnects and electronics miniaturization.At this years AGM, InsightaaS.com examined the future of ECAs for electronics manufacturing and here is what they had to share.ReMAP M4 Electrically Conductive Adhesives ECAsTo enable electrical connections where traditional alloy solders are not feasible – for example, in flexible, bendable electronic assemblies – the ECA team is using nanomaterials, which offer several tech benefits: they offer 200 percent better connectivity than other materials and are the lowest cost while delivering the highest strength and longest shelf life. Additionally, ECAs can adhere to more than metal, and hence can be used in additive printing, an unintended but beneficial market advantage. The Project 04 team represents a collaboration between the University of Waterloo, Microbonds, Celestica, Engage Biomechanics and Juniper Networks.
