Material challenges for next-generation automotive smart surface

The drive to integrate functionality into decorative surfaces is forcing the development of new electronic materials that allow the creation of circuits and the attachment of components onto substrates not previously used in electronics. The desire for larger, integrated parts has pushed the need for more extreme formability in applications that require high levels of both electrochemical and thermomechanical reliability.
