Project description
Thin, flexible ceramics for circuit boards
The EU-funded Flexiramics project supports Netherlands-based company Eurekite in developing a flexible material that has numerous benefits over current ceramics. It can be bent and shaped into any position, is not brittle and is fireproof. Although this fibre-based ceramic is light and flexible like tissue paper, it retains the main physiochemical properties of traditional ceramics, such as heat resistance. Eurekite plans to use the new material in a flexible printed circuit board, combining the flexibility and lightness of a polymer with the thermal and dielectric properties of a ceramic.
