 and we're here at the ID Tech X show, and hi! Hi, my name is Dave Hoi from DuPont, I'm the business marketing development leader. And what is this? Yes, so this is our Intaxa brand, it's a wearable electronics, so if you look at the tag, this is our brand Intaxa. What we're seeing here now is our wearable technology. With DuPont we supply electrical sensors, so this is to track monitor and track the heart rate, and also underneath we have a commercial product, both are commercial products. This is a yoga bra, again this is a smart garment. Intaxa is a sensor. All the way around. How far does it go? It goes to, there are two sensors over here. And there. And this helps for, this works for the baby or for the mother? This one is for the mother, this is more fitness oriented, and it tracks the breathing rate as well as the heart rate. So it's kind of like a partially a baby tracker too. It's not just a mother tracker. This is for the fitness portion. Intaxa Health is here. So this is our partner company, Owlette. They've won the CES Award 2019 Best Wearable Award. What is this? This is to track the baby heartbeat. Really? Yes. So you can see we have many electrodes and an example is the pregnant lady will wear this in the evening, overnight. And the enabling technology again is an Intaxa brand, silver electrical, with a detachable this is a smart battery and the actual smart device. Can I see this? So this battery and what, Bluetooth stuff here, PCB? Correct. So this is the electronic side and this can be washed. For the garment it can be washed. So each of these little connectors is one of the sensors going through. There's a bunch. Yes, these are the connector so it has a Bluetooth that you can connect back to the app. And this is not just like prototype kind of stuff. This is a product. So all three already in mass reduction products. Yep. How good is this sensor? How reliable? How does it know which is the mother's heartbeat and the baby's heartbeat? Yes, that's a very good question. So the most effective way to track the fetal's heartbeat is the sensor right here where the baby sits. So the reason we have a team up with Outlet is they have a software system to look into a different area of the belly basically. And it's very different from different type of fitness strip. I guess the position is important. And you're with DuPont, right? Yes. Are you the market leader for this kind of this stuff here? What's happening here? Are you the market leader in doing this patch and the stuff that goes through the printer electronics that's happening here? Is it printed? It's fully printed, screen printed. And we have in-texture material that has the screen printed paste and dielectric as well as TPU film, so the encapsulation film. And then it gets laminated to a stretchable fabric. It's kind of a beautiful piece of art also. It's like interesting how all these... Why do you go zig-zags here? Yes, so we call this a meander and that enables a better stretching ability instead of a straight line stretching. So the stuff in the middle maybe stretches less than the stuff at the edge? Correct. So it controls and that's designed to help solve the elasticity. Is it waterproof? Yes, it's washable. Like 1000 times washable or 100 times? So 50 to 100 times, we have a lot of data to suggest obviously different different customer, different manufacturer will have different stacking and different protocol. DuPont is a really awesome company doing lots of cool stuff, right? Yes. What are you showing right here? So right here we're looking more to the more electronics. So basically if you think about a a 2D screen printing technology and then thermal form into a 3D shape. So the throughput is high because we're printing 2D and then we're able to create different type of stretching elongation. So the conductive ink and dielectric ink can be stretched to a 3D form. And then we do injection molding to give the structure with a single connector to plug in. So the assembly time will be very fast. This is also stuff that's match produced? Correct. So on the left here we have a heated headlamp. So these heating elements are screen printed 2D and then thermal form to a 3D and then get injection molded. This is a heated headlamp. The problem we're solving is the LED headlamp. The LED itself hasn't got the radiator heat. So all the heats drive to the heat sink at the back when there's a snow storm in the evening. The LED headlamp get covered with ice and thick piece of ice. And the radiator, so the lack of radiator heat prevents it for the ice to clear. So we're de-icing basically. De-icing and also defolk as well. So when moisture gets in, we have the ability to dry the lens itself. So how big quantities is all this stuff? Pardon? How big are the quantities? So right now this is aftermarket. It's commercial available. So it's not very big quantities? Right, we see this as an enabling technology. We're pioneering and we're working closely with our partners to bring this to even larger scale. All right. What is this going on here? Yep, right here is Tacto-Tact made. Using our Dupont in more electronic material, this is an overhead console. So on the right-hand side, this is an X-ray version without the graphic. And on the left-hand side, this is with graphics. Again, this is a capacitive touch switch, overhead console. Notice on here there's a hidden button. When we press on, it activates it. So when we tune the lighting, it enables a slider. So this is all capacitive touch switch. And on the right-hand side, you can see our Dupont material as a conductive traces and have LED. So this is a modern way, weight saving, and also it gives a very easy assembly and weight saving as well. Is this in mass production or not? Right now, we're at the early stage, qualifying at different stages. But these are two separate ones. Cool. Thank you. And then you have a bunch of more stuff over there. Yes. I'll pass on to my colleague. Again, let me check right here. How does it go? Where'd you put it? Yeah, just right there in the middle. Yeah. So hi. Hi. So I'm Kerry Adams. I'm the Market Segment Manager for Printed Electronics for Dupont Advanced Materials. And today, Dave's already spoken to you about some of our materials for smart clothing technology and also for in-mold electronics. But I wanted to show you just some new stuff that we've done regarding our new branded in-texile materials for in-texile health. And this is for health-related applications. All is health here? So this stuff here on the bottom, up to here, is to do with our new range of materials for in-texile health. And what we've done here is used the stretchable, conformable qualities of the ink and substrate system, as you can see there, to make into health patches. Now, these health patches are for wireless monitoring of vital signs. And it could be in a post-operative situation or it could be in a home environment where you're monitoring and sending signals. And it'll transmit the data directly to the doctors who could monitor your condition. So this can be used in emergency rooms. It can be used in home environments. And the prototypes we're making are really illustrating the technology of the stretchable, conformable electronics. And we make those materials. We also make a range of silicon skin adhesives to make them comfortable, breathable, and conformable on the skin. So it's a complete range of DuPont materials here. This is after the operation. Right. Monitoring of wet parts. Okay, so you fix it to your around here problem. Monitoring like heartbeat and stuff like that, or other stuff. It monitors ECG, it monitors bioimpedance, which gives you the rate of respiration. And this particular model also measures oxygen content as well. So it's got an SBO2 sensor on it as well. And it's all done wirelessly. It's shipping. Excuse me? Is this shipping mass production? No, this is prototype. Prototype. How soon is it mass production? Why does it not get mass production? So these at the moment are still, you'll see ECG patches when you go to the doctors, you'll have ECG patches put on you, but they'll all be wired to an instrument. Okay, so ECG patches using electrodes is already commercial, but these wireless ones are not commercial yet. Okay, so all the major health companies are looking at this technology. It would be a challenge in getting a nice little battery that lasts long enough and everything. Yeah, there's no problem for this type of thing, the little button battery operate for seven days. That would be the sort of duration you'd be looking at it. Different one? It's the same model. This one's just a slightly newer one. All right, so it should be everywhere, right? Which of these devices right here is the most popular, most mass produced right now? So at the moment, the ones we've already shown you for the wearables devices there. So where you have smart fitness shirts, you have the pregnancy monitoring belts, these are commercial products. The next stage is entering the health market. And of course, with the regulations and the amount of qualification period you need, this'll be a year or two yet. And what is all this stuff up here? So on the top shelf here, you can see this illustrates the broad portfolio of materials that DuPont Advanced Materials make. So we make a wide variety of inks and pastes for a lot of different applications. And they can be different metallurgies. It can be gold, it can be silver, it can be platinum, copper, dielectric inks. And they're used in all different applications. The ones you've just passed by there, these are used for biomedical electrodes. And so these are used in the mass market already for things like blood glucose testing. Okay, this sort of thing. Big quantities. Oh, billions. Billions shipping already? Absolutely, I have done for many, many years. So that's an example of what that sort of test group might look like. But this is probably one of the biggest applications for printed electronics commercially today. DuPont has always been the leading edge and this kind of stuff. DuPont has really driven the industry. Invented this? Pretty much. DuPont has been making printed electronics materials since the 1930s. And we had our first silver inks in the 1930s, our first screen printing inks in the 1940s. And the technology has evolved and our materials have advanced in such a way that we've almost driven the industry. And so the advances in materials are allowing much more complex applications to be accessed. What were you doing in the 30s and 40s? What was it used for? So the very first application using a screen printed silver was making a ceramic PZT actuator disc. And this was made for certain sensing applications. Sensors in 1930s. Yep, 1930s and 1940s. That went into all different applications. But certainly the technology started on ceramic and then moved to flexible electronics afterwards. Nice. What's the second row right here? Again, it's a mixture of materials. So we're going from the left here. We make DuPont capton inks. Now, capton is known for its high temperature stability and physical durability. And we've turned the capton brand into an ink, which means you can print silver inks containing a capton binder and they will have operating temperatures up to 300 Celsius. Cpton. It sounds like something from a Superman movie. So capton is a polyamide. So it's a brand name for our polyamide materials originally in film form and now in ink form also. And here is a set of materials that are used on low temperature substrates. This one? And so you can print on PVC or polyolefins. Here are some 3D printed materials. So this is true 3D printing. Incorporating a DuPont dispensable silver that will power the electrodes and the chip inside the USB stick. Here again, you have a sensor platform which is on stretchable, conformable substrates. You can stretch it. It's got an RFID antenna and you can mount various sensor electrodes and chips on it to give you the functionality you need. This was developed in conjunction with the Hulse Center, a printed electronics institute who we partner with. They're cool guys, right? They're pretty innovative and they know their stuff, yeah. That's right. But it's nice if it's possible to see all this stuff into billions and billions of devices. Like when you do this, it goes in billions of devices. All this stuff is also ready for millions? Yeah, absolutely. A lot of this stuff is commercial. Some of the ones you see here are ceramic-based circuits and LTCC-based circuits. These are used in commercial applications across many different markets, including military, including automotive, all sorts of different commercial applications. This is a new concept. It's a flexible LED array. So it's an LED lighting array on a polyester substrate and it enables you to print large area LED lighting on flexible substrates. So it's a new application area for us. And so how's it been with you at the ID Tech Act show? It's been several years, right? I think we've been. It's a great place to get network. Yeah, pretty much. We've been coming to this show pretty much from the beginning. It's a great forum for people to learn about new technologies and to learn about new materials. So yeah, we have a good time here and we get a lot of new contacts from this type of show.
