i) The automotive potentiometers: using Dycotec's copper and carbon pastes to replace a PCB with a more cost-effective printed solution

ii) The RFID printed on rubber: demonstrating Dycotec's stretchable silver paste and encapsulant - which can be used on a wide variety of substrate materials including textiles and stretched up to 140%

iii) The textile heater demonstrated in a sportswear jacket (mounted on the manikin). A thin and flexible heating element based on a fabric substrate which is powered by a rechargeable battery and can be easily incorporated into clothing, gloves, shoes, etc, to provide a comfortable source of heat in cold weather. The technology also has uses in automotive and other applications.
