俄亥俄州克利夫兰——路博润公司宣布其时尚功能性多科技通勤(MTC) 外套将在IDTechEx Show! 展会亮相，展会将于2018年11月14日至15日在加利福尼亚州圣克拉拉举行。 The MTC Jacket was commissioned by Lubrizol with the purpose of demonstrating how solutions and supply chain partners can be integrated to deliver innovative, valuable solutions to the wearables market.
The MTC Jacket is the result of an impressive multiple-partner collaboration between leading experts including Lubrizol, Principled Design, ACI Materials, and Butler Technologies that took the project from concept to completion in just nine (9) months. The project underscores the importance of systems thinking in the development of novel wearable electronics -- combining design, material science, applications know-how, and value chain partners having the right mindset and capabilities - to quickly turn innovative ideas into prototypes and then commercial scale realities.
The process began with Lubrizol commissioning Despina Papadopoulos from Principled Design (New York, New York) to design and oversee development of Lubrizol's Multi-Tech Commuter Jacket, including development of the supply chain and contract assembly of jacket components into final garment form. "First and foremost, our jacket had to look good, feel good and be easy to maintain. In other words, we designed this jacket for humans," states Ms. Papadopoulos. The jacket showcases innovative technologies from Lubrizol's Engineered Polymers and Performance Coatings portfolios especially well-suited for Electronics including flexible hybrid electronics, wearables, mobile devices and accessories, and 3D printing.
为了将路博润的高弹性材料解决方案整合至可穿戴平台，Principled Design与ACI Materials 和Butler Technologies 携手合作，ACI Materials 位于加利福尼亚州戈莱塔市，在导电油墨、密封剂和电阻加热器柔性电路技术方面拥有丰厚的专业知识，Butler Technologies, Inc. 位于宾夕法尼亚州巴特勒，在开发印刷电子产品、概念验证和原型设计方面拥有成熟能力。团队成员汇集了各自专业领域的深刻见解，并携手解决了先进设计、材料和技术间相互作用等问题，以实现出众的外观、舒适性和功能性。
