Descripción del proyecto
Como un camaleón, las etiquetas de envasado inteligentes cambian de color, pero de forma irreversible
Los sensores inteligentes facilitan la vida de las personas y, a veces, logran que sea más segura, al medir las propiedades físicas y convertirlas en señales —como una alarma o una luz intermitente— o en acciones —como encender las luces en respuesta a la disminución de la luz solar—. El proyecto CHARISMA, financiado con fondos europeos, aúna una nueva generación de científicos para un programa formativo industrial centrado en el desarrollo de etiquetas de envasado inteligentes. Las películas muy delgadas producirán un cambio de color irreversible como respuesta a un estímulo externo y serán compatibles con cualquier superficie. El mercado de etiquetas inteligentes crece rápidamente y estos doctorandos se prepararán para contribuir y cosechar los beneficios.
Objetivo
In a world in which sensors are multiplying to give information to people, a need to represent these messages in an appealing and unequivocal way appears as one of the new challenges in information and communication technologies. It is with this idea, that the CHARISMA Industrial Doctoral Training elevates the concept of applied irreversibility to displays, empowering packaging industries with the tools and innovative advanced materials to engineer smart labels. CHARISMA develops printable smart labels that, capitalizing on a sensor responsive to an external stimulus (e.g. temperature), will allow the irreversible colour change of a chromogenic displaying unit. All this is connected through a circuitry that, through a powered capacitor or an OPV device, can allow the stimulus response and trigger a chromogenic (e.g. electrochromic) switching event. Once the signal is transmitted to the chromogenic display, the display will turn colour (e.g. into black), and this state cannot be converted back. The CHARISMA smart labels are thin and flexible taking virtually no space, and thus printable on any surface. The project brings together 9 ESRs in a strong interdisciplinary consortium of five beneficiaries, industry and research balanced, with state-of-the-art backgrounds in synthetic chemistry, printing, electronics system integration, and complete chromogenic solutions. This is complemented with the commitment of four non-academic partner organizations. The CHARISMA’s ESRs will be exposed to industrial training program on smart labels, in which theoretical and practical research schemes in device engineering and innovation are integrated with topical themes and methods imported from chemistry, physics and business.
