Gas and Moisture Permeation Measurement for High Barrier Films
Institute of Physics, London
Flexible films may provide near ideal optical and mechanical properties but their barrier properties may curtail useful product life. In plastic electronics the full promise of flexible OLEDs and organic PV requires substrates with superior barrier properties. Hence barrier measurement systems are critical to success.
This joint workshop aims to improve understanding of barriers and their measurement. It will interest those developing barrier layers for films and using, or improving, permeability testing equipment.Registration and further information
