Gore to collaborate with graphene sensor start-up
05/04/2018
Bonbouton’s area of expertise is inkjet-printed, low-cost graphene temperature sensors. It has used graphene oxide to develop flexible, thin sensors for monitoring skin temperature.
The initial phase of the partnership between the two companies will focus on collaborative research in the area of temperature-sensing materials. This is intended to lay the foundations for future applications of sensor technology and conductive inks in digital health, chronic care management and smart fabrics.
“Bonbouton is an ideal partner. Its technology shows enormous potential for expanding Gore materials into digital health applications and other markets," said Paul Campbell, co-leader of the Gore Innovation Centre. "Bonbouton is widely and well regarded for its potential in graphene as a sensing modality. We look forward to collaborating with them both from a research and business standpoint."
Gore announced the establishment of its Innovation Centre at the start of 2018. The facility, which is located in California’s Silicon Valley district, aims to help start-ups achieve and scale scientific breakthroughs, supported by Gore’s material science expertise. It includes a prototyping facility where start-ups, researchers, customers and corporations can collaborate.
"Our work with Gore, and specifically the Innovation Center, is an exciting development. Its materials and expertise are what will allow us to improve on existing technology and take development to the next level," said Linh Le, CEO and founder of Bonbouton.
