Konarka Touts Power Plastics at Pack Electronics International Conference Daniel McGahn, Executive Vice President of Konarka, presents Power Plastics, enabling pack electronics through conductive polymers at the Palace Station in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Konarka Technologies, Inc., an innovator in developing and commercializing Power Plastics* that converts light to energy, today announced that Daniel McGahn, executive vice president and chief marketing officer of the company, is presenting at the Pack Electronics International Conference on Thursday, January 26, 2006 at 1:40 p.m. at the Palace Station in Las Vegas, Nevada. The presentation will explain how Power Plastics are enabling pack electronics through conductive polymers. WHO: Daniel McGahn, Konarka's executive vice president and chief marketing
officer Advances in nanotechnology and materials science have led to Konarka's development of new photovoltaics made from conducting plastics and nano-engineered materials that promise to make solar inexpensive, unobtrusive and readily available. These plastic cells, Power Plastics, are produced by coating or printing the materials onto a surface in a continuous roll-to-roll process similar to photographic film. The end result is a light-activated power plastic that is flexible, lightweight, lower in cost and more versatile in application than traditional silicon-based solar panels. "Organizations are interested in utilizing our Power Plastic materials to extend and enhance their packaging and display applications," stated Daniel McGahn, executive vice president and chief marketing officer for Konarka. "Imagine a can or bottle with dynamic content, boxes that light up or containers that serve as power sources for their contents. These are the types of features that our partners will be able to provide as they integrate our material into their applications." According to Nanomarkets, printable electronics is expected to generate revenues of $7 billion by 2010, with printed RFID making up $2.2 billion of that and $3 billion coming from low cost flexible displays for use instore and on packaging. Additionally, Pira International predicts a 9.7% year on year growth from now through 2008 in the U.S. alone, with batteries and displays have the potential to reach $182m in the next two years just in packaging applications.
