Patent number: 11052584Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2016Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: AW BRANDING LIMITEDInventors: Christophe Chartier, Gaël Depres, Jean-Marie Vau

Publication number: 20200187350Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2018Publication date: June 11, 2020Inventors: Gaël DEPRES, Jean-Marie VAU
