Arkema Piezotech - Electroactive Polymers: Bringing Sensitivity to Printed Electronics

Printed electronics are evolving fast, and electroactive polymers are paving the way for a new generation of devices that don’t just perform—they feel. Available as powders, inks, and films, these materials combine the versatility of polymers with piezoelectric functionality, enabling electronics that respond to touch, vibration, and impact.
With their printability, flexibility, and lightweight design, electroactive polymers make it possible to create highly sensitive sensors across a wide frequency range. They are already opening opportunities in automotive (safer human–machine interfaces), energy (structural health monitoring of hydrogen tanks and batteries), healthcare (vital signs monitoring), acoustics (musical pickups), and sports (impact detection).
This talk will demystify piezoelectric polymers and show how they can be implemented in real applications. Attendees will discover why these materials are an essential platform for innovation in tomorrow’s smart and sustainable electronics.
