In the TUCscicast Dr. Georg Schmidt responds the questions about the latest developments of T-PAPER technology, advantages of the printed electronics today as well as the ideas for the future applications on the basis of printed paper lodspeakers. You will find the TUCscicast in every podcast app!
T-PAPER at C-Town 360˚ Convention
C-Town 360° is a meeting platform for industry and researchers to exchange their ideas and to present technologies, insights and megatrends. The focus of this convention were Smart Systems, Artificial Intelligence and microelectronic technology. We could meet such Start-Ups as LiGenium, Trowis and some others and hear about their solutions for more sustainable manufacturing.
We took part in Deep Dives „Artificial Intelligence“ and „Mechanical Engineering & Digitalization“. Many thanks to CWE Chemnitz and Wirkbau Chemnitz for such inspiring event!
New scientific paper published
The T-PAPER team published their latest study of “Fully Printed Piezoelectric Polymer Loudspeakers with Enhanced Acoustic Performance” in Advanced Engineering Materials. Xunlin Qiu, Georg C. Schmidt, Pramul Muraleedhara Panicker, Ricardo Alonso Quintana Soler, Aravindan Joseph Benjamin and Arved C. Hübler investigated the influence of remanent polarization and the area of the piezoelectrically active layer on the acoustic output of the loudspeakers. Dielectric spectroscopy was used to study the dielectric properties of the printed loudspeakers before and after poling. Due to the remanent polarization the T-PAPER team could realize a much higher sound pressure level than that achieved by previous tests.
Moreover, this work provides a better comprehension of functionality of fully printed piezoelectric polymer loudspeakers.
VIP+ Report of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research
The Federal Ministry of Education and Research published a report on the last VIP+ Innovation Conference 2019 in Berlin. The T-PAPER team also participated in the Conference 2019. Their printed loudspeaker was presented at the exhibition VIP+UP! .
The aim of the Innovation Conference is a technology transfer from universities to industry. The grant-aided projects have an opportunity to exchange their experiences and to present their latest developments.
The T-PAPER project is funded under VIP+ program by the Ministry of Education and Research since 2017.
T-PAPER put their heads together about remaining months of the project
T-PAPER had a team meeting to discuss successful last months and to brainstorm about new applications of a T-Paper.
Dr. Georg Schmidt gave update and set new proposals for the next months of the project. All this time we were advancing our technology and moving closer to our final goal! We also welcomed a new team member. Varvara Bachul is responsible for marketing and costing. She will also support the T-PAPER project during commercialization.
Our team consists of researchers from all over the world: Sri-Lanka, Colombia, China, India, Russia and Germany. So we are full of energy and looking forward to the next successful months!
T-PAPER at ISE 2019 – 17th International Symposium on Electrets in Ireland
The T-PAPER project goes to the University of Limerick in September.
Dr. Xunlin Qiu will present the latest developments of our technology to the scientific community and manufacturing industry. He will also talk about our T-Box. The IEEE ISE 2019 event includes international guest speakers, workshops and exhibitions. The symposium in Limerick is also an ideal meeting ground for industry to hear from researchers on their latest innovations and practical applications.
