Smart Paper Adventures

To develop safe, low-cost, flex­ible printed circuits for inter­ac­tive books and games.

Objectives

The main chal­lenges and topics of inves­ti­ga­tion are:

  • Inte­gra­tion of printed elec­tronic compo­nents (such as sensors, LEDs, touch circuits, or flex­ible batteries) into chil­dren’s books and games.
  • Devel­op­ment of conduc­tive inks and printing methods for safe, child-friendly appli­ca­tions.
  • Devel­op­ment of low-cost, flex­ible printed circuits suit­able for embed­ding in paper or card­board mate­rials.
  • Testing and opti­mizing circuit layouts for power effi­ciency, reli­a­bility, sensi­tivity, and ease of inte­gra­tion into printed mate­rials.
  • Consid­er­a­tion of Recy­cla­bility, Ecode­sign and Made in Europe Strate­gies.

Expected Results 

  • A func­tional proto­type of an inter­ac­tive chil­dren’s book or game inte­grating printed elec­tronic compo­nents such as sensors or LEDs.
  • Demon­strated feasi­bility of embed­ding low-cost, flex­ible printed circuits into paper-based prod­ucts without compro­mising safety, usability, or eco creden­tials.
  • Opti­mized printing and circuit design processes for combined screen printing / elec­tronic inte­gra­tion / offset printing.
