  • Patent number: 11052584
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method to embed a label essentially consisting of a paper substrate carrying electronic inks and/or a printed electronic circuit and/or device (thereby achieving a paper-based electronic circuit) directly into a moulded plastic piece (also designated as plastic object), the embedding of the paper-based electronic circuit and the production of the plastic piece being performed in a single operation. The invention thus also relates to a method to manufacture plastic objects embedding such label. The invention also concerns a plastic object encompassing a label essentially consisting of a paper substrate carrying electronic inks and/or a printed electronic circuit and/or device (thereby achieving a paper-based electronic circuit) embedded in the moulded plastic and in particular an object obtained by the method disclosed to prepare a moulded plastic piece.

  • Publication number: 20200187350
    Abstract: The invention relates to a paper-based printed electronic device comprising one or more sheets of paper that is impregnated with a resin in way to fill the voids (or pores) of porous networks of cellulose fibers and in particular to saturate said porous networks of cellulose fibers, as well as to coat the outer surfaces of the printed electronics with said resin. A fully encapsulated electronic device is obtained which is protected against external environmental and physical damages such as against moisture and oxygen and has acquired sufficient resistance to tearing. The impregnated and encapsulated electronic device can then be successfully integrated into an object in a form of a flat or curved monolithic structure. This may especially be achieved through a lamination process, as said device sustains high pressure, high temperature, does not create bubbles, does not delaminate, and can be fully embedded into an end product.

  • Patent number: 9648751
    Abstract: The method for producing a electroconductive sheet having a substrate, in particular made of paper, and an electroconductive layer include the steps of: a/ preparing a multi-layer structure with an anti-adhesive coating inserted between a plastic film and a base layer, b/ cross-laminating the multi-layer structure and the substrate, and c/ removing the plastic film and the anti-adhesive coating from the base layer. The base layer is a layer of an electroconductive material or is covered with an electroconductive layer by an additional step consisting of: d1/ depositing an electroconductive film on the base layer; or d2/ printing the base layer with at least one ink having electrical properties, with the base layer being a printable layer with a binder base of which the rate is 15% greater in dry weight in relation to the total dry matter weight of this layer.
