Case Study: Polymertronics Ltd
UK start-up Polymertronics is rapidly developing into a major technology enabler for the organic light emitting diode (OLED) industry. Having recently filed several patents which outline new methods for inkjet printing and ultra-violet curing of flexible OLED's, the company is looking to focus its efforts on two main areas of emerging technology; disposable medical devices and smart packaging.
As part of their continuing development work into OLED devices Stephen Clemmet, CEO of Polymertronics, recently contacted FaraPack Polymers for advice on materials and methods for improving OLED brightness and longevity, and methods for refining UV-curing processes. FaraPack initiated a face-to-face meeting between Polymertronics and three key academics within the field of OLED devices at the University of Sheffield.
As a result of this meeting FaraPack Polymers was asked to compile a comprehensive report detailing the academics current and future recommendations for OLED materials and device manufacture, tailored specifically to Polymertronics' requirements and position within the OLED market.
"The results of the consultancy were outstanding and have been
incorporated in our OLED patent application and new Business Plan
for 2008-9. We are very pleased with the results in
such a short amount of time."
