- Double-side copper laminate polyethylene terephthalate films have been designed for large-format touch panel sensors used in many electronic products like electronic blackboards, digital signage, and amusement devices. This offers improved qualities to help maximize the viewing area, enhance ease of use, and improve visibility. Also, researchers have developed a thinner-than-thin polymer that could exponentially expand the memory storage of our computers and smartphones. The polymer is made of organic material and can be stretched 10,000 times thinner than a human hair.

- It will be possible to detect kidney diseases in its initial stages, when treatment is still relatively simple and the prognosis good. The key to this health and life-saving manner of diagnosis is a new polymer. Also, an electroactive device fabricated from polyvinylidene fluoride facilitates wound healing while protecting the wound and could find application for military personnel wounded in the field, hospital patients who have undergone surgery, astronauts in space. Biocompatible polymers helped develop a lighter, more ergonomic and highly cost-effective kit of reusable instruments for spinal surgeries without compromising mechanical properties or sterilizability based on stringent chemicals, steam and even gamma radiation.
