Liquid X Printed Metals announces alliance effort with Bonbouton to build temperature and pressure sensors directly on textiles

YarnsandFibers News Bureau 2018-10-05 14:59:00 – New York

Bonbouton, based in New York City, has swiftly become an innovative leader in thermal sensing using a smart textile platform. Bonbouton is developing thin and mechanically flexible sensors for wearable physiology monitoring through their inkjet-printable graphene technology licensed from the Stevens Institute of Technology. This gives consumers wearable personal health options that are unobtrusive, comfortable, while still enabling the collection of correct and useful data.

Greg Babe, Liquid X President and Chief Executive Officer said, "We are excited to be working with Bonbouton, bringing two innovative teams and two innovative technologies together to develop solutions for evolving opportunities in medical applications,” Linh Le, Bonbouton Founder and Chief Executive Officer said that, "We're thrilled to partner with Liquid X to complement with our core sensor technology and to initially explore business opportunities in a much-needed wearable medical market.”

Linh added, "We have seen many companies trying to claim the durable conductive trace on textiles but the Liquid X technology truly stands out and we share the same passion for the future of printed electronics." "This collaboration builds on Liquid X's vision of using our functional metallic inks for designing and developing functional components for electronic devices. With the move to our new lab facility in RIDC Park West, we now have a full range of equipment along with the technical expertise necessary to build and test prototypes," said Beth Vasy, Vice President of Operations at Liquid X. The two companies expect to have prototype models developed and tested for industry by early 2019.

Printed Electronics World Posted on September 13, 2018 Advanced textile based sensors × Liquid X Printed Metals is exhibiting at the IDTechEx Show! Santa Clara Convention Center, CA, USA 14 - 15 Nov 2018 Liquid X Printed Metals has announced a collaboration effort with Bonbouton to build temperature and pressure sensors directly on textiles using additive manufacturing techniques. For more information see the IDTechEx reporst on E-textiles 2018-2028 and Printed, Organic and Flexible Electronics.

Bill Babe, Sales and Marketing Manager at Liquid X, added, "We believe our strategy of collaboration with other companies taps the collective powers, talents and assets needed to truly drive the printed electronics industry forward. Bonbouton is one of those firms with expert knowledge in sensing technology and a product line very complimentary to our functional inks."

Liquid X will use it’s proprietary particle-free inks to inkjet print interconnects directly on textiles, through this collaboration These interconnects carry signals from a graphene-sensing layer back to device hardware, where the data can be analyzed. Liquid X's exclusive ability to metalize textile fibers reduces steps in the manufacturing process of electronically integrated textiles and employs a low-cost, scalable manufacturing method widely utilized in the textile industry.
