1-Material, University of Ottawa Join the CPEIA

The Canadian Printable Electronics Industry Association (CPEIA) continues to build its presence in both the industrial and academic sides of Canada’s domestic ecosystem with the addition of the University of Ottawa and materials company 1-Material to its membership.
 
1-Material is a contract research and materials company. Its team is tackling the challenges around standardizing organic nano electronic (ONE) materials for organic thin film applications. The company has dedicated itself to standardize these classic and most commonly studied materials, and to make them reliable and reproducible.
 
The University of Ottawa, a public research institution, is the largest bilingual (English-French) university in the world. Its advances in social sciences, health, engineering, science and the humanities make uOttawa a unique place to learn, grow and excel.
 
According to Research Infosource, uOttawa ranks ninth among Canada’s Top 50 Research Universities for 2016 and is among Canada’s Top 10 Research Intensive Universities.
 
uOttawa researchers in printable electronics have expertise in synthesis, deposition, nano-structuring, nano-characterization of materials, and flexible hybrid electronic integration for photonic and electronic applications. These applications include printed and flexible devices, reactive printing, smart textiles and paper, renewable energy, memory and logic devices, lighting and displays, gas and biological sensing, and smart packaging.
 
“uOttawa and 1-Material are prime examples of the great work being done across Canada in the materials science and essential R&D required to grow our printable and flexible electronics sector,” said Peter Kallai, president and CEO of the CPEIA.
