Glossary term
Printed electronics
Electronic functionality delivered by printing conductive or semi-conductive materials onto a substrate rather than by discrete wiring.
Definition
Printed electronics enable thin, lightweight, flexible circuits on films and fabrics.
The technology has emerged from lab demonstrations into industrial applications across sensing, heating and communication.
Why it matters to DSEAMS
Penanos PE e-Mem is the DSEAMS technology family that applies printed electronics to the barrier membrane film of textile laminates — creating a full-coverage active surface without wiring.

- Conductive adhesiveAn adhesive loaded with conductive particles that bonds components while carrying electrical signal or power between them.
- Active surfaceA textile membrane surface that carries distributed electrical, sensing or protective function across its entire area — not just at discrete points.
- Embedded Interface Module (EIM)A Penanos interface component permanently integrated into a garment to control the active surface.
