Use cases
CircEL-Paper aims to demonstrate that electronic products can be realised by usage of paper-based printed circuit boards. The products are chosen in order to show the vast width of application from an exploitable perspective but also to show that paper-based PCBs developed by the CircEl-Paper consortium can fulfill different requirements.
CASE ONE – Medical Sensor
A medical sensor for glucose level measurement on skin is built up on multilayer paper PCB and combines the sensor
with the electronic reading unit.
CASE TWO – Cold Chain Monitoring
A Time-Temperature-Indicator (TTI) with the multilayer paper -based PCB will be built up and integrated in paper-based packing solutions.
CASE THREE – Sound playing paper PCB
Paper-based gadgets like music playing greeting cards, children’s diary with electronic locks, or even paper case radios contain conventional PCBs today. CircEl-Paperwill use the developed multi-layered paper PCB to achieve an electronic paper product, recyclable in the conventional paper recycling process.
