“The partners intend to explore temperature sensing materials, which are expected to help in creating sensor technology and conductive inks for digital health, chronic care management and smart fabric applications.”

The company uses a technology licensed from the Stevens Institute of Technology to create flexible and thin sensors for skin temperature monitoring using graphene oxide (GO).

The partners intend to initially explore potential temperature sensing materials, which are expected to help in creating sensor technology and conductive inks for digital health, chronic care management and smart fabric applications.

Gore Innovation Center co-leader Paul Campbell said: “Bonbouton is an ideal partner. Its technology shows enormous potential for expanding Gore materials into digital health applications and other markets.

“Bonbouton is widely and well regarded for its potential in graphene as a sensing modality. We look forward to collaborating with them both from a research and business standpoint.”
