SMTONLINE The NPL Management Ltd will be holding a webinar on May 15 that will discuss the ReUSE (Reuseable, Unzippable, Sustainable Electronics) project, an innovative printed electronics solution to increase the recyclability of electronic assemblies.
The project partners - NPL, GEM Group and In2Tec - designed, developed and tested a series of unzippable polymeric layers which, while withstanding prolonged thermal cycling and damp heat stressing, allow the assemblies to be easily separated at end-of-life into their constituent parts, after immersion in hot water. The project demonstrated a 90% recyclable inverter circuit for an electroluminescent lamp.
The free webinar will run for between 45-60 minutes and will have a Q&A session.
