SOMERSET, NJ – Alpha is collaborating with the National Graphene Institute at the University of Manchester to develop Graphene-based electronic materials for electronics assembly and packaging, as well as for the energy and power markets.

The collaboration is a multi-year effort and focuses on how to use these soldering materials in applications where components must meet higher connectivity,
mobility and sustainability requirements.

“Since the opening of the £61m National Graphene Institute we are now seeing a significant acceleration in engagement with industry and an increasing number of industry partners now working on graphene projects,” said James Baker, graphene business director at the University of Manchester. “With the Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre, which will be completed in 2017, also located in Manchester, the University of Manchester continues to play a leading role in the commercialization of graphene.”

In a press release, Alpha said graphene-based technologies are expected to be used for broader applications across its product portfolio and affiliate companies.
