- The New Edition of BASF's Innovation Podcast "Chemistry of Innovations" Talks About Printable Electronics.

We still have got a bit to go before we will have electronic newspapers. But still, with the help of printing technology, it is already possible today to produce not only newspapers but even electronic circuits. This allows an amazingly wide range of products and applications - from heated insoles for your shoes to complex circuits and even transistors. Electrographic Ink without color pigments but with very special liquid synthetic materials, so called polymers, enables to print electronics. So theoretically you could even print out electronics elements with a normal inkjet printer.
