Electronics and Bioelectronics

At Goodfellow, we support the industry's convergence of electronics and biology for interconnected tools and solutions. Whether nanotechnology and quantum computing, or the rapid advancements in microelectronics, sensor technology and biomaterials for medical devices and innovative diagnostic platforms, we understand the relevance of advanced materials to help unlock possibilities and advancements.

In areas of R&D we see the need for materials that have electron mobilities that reduce heat production and in bioelectronics materials that are conductive, biocompatible for applications such as biosensor and implant designs.

If you are looking for polymer-based materials or finding ways to print flexible circuitry that is still sufficiently conductive, it is now possible to find materials suitable for making such devices that can also be used to interface with biological systems.

With ever-increasing performance demands in terms of operating speeds and heat loads, and a need for lighter-weight components to improve portability we offer over 170,000 product to fit your needs and are able to customize your products with our expert Technical Solutions team.

Examples of specialist materials available in the Goodfellow catalog include niobium-titanium wire. To ensure the niobium-titanium wire would meet the harsher durability requirements while remaining cost-effective in the longer term, Goodfellow conducted extensive testing to guarantee the product could meet all client demands.

Specifically for bioelectronics applications, Goodfellow can provide high-quality materials that are also biocompatible. Goodfellow’s platinum gauzes have been integrated into bioelectronic devices in the form of the counter electrode, where very small impedance spectra needed to be measured, so it was essential no additional noise was introduced in the measurements.

Other materials include the provision of biomaterials such as cellulose for the creation of biomembranes in bioelectronic devices. For many devices, it is essential that the thickness of materials is accurately known, and Goodfellow’s stringent quality control can ensure you have full traceability history on your materials and know exactly what you are working with.

Whether you need small quantities for prototype development and testing or large-scale materials for manufacturing your product, Goodfellow can support you in achieving your goals.

Trying to find the optimal choice for development work in electronics and bioelectronics can be challenging. There are an overwhelming number of technical materials available, each with unique properties, and finding the right one for an application can require extensive, time-consuming research.

Goodfellow has expertise working across a number of different sectors, including electronics applications in engineering and healthcare, and can bring its knowledge about materials innovation and development to your project. Whether through bespoke and custom engineering, the manufacture of an existing material to address your needs, or by providing a new, custom alloy, Goodfellow can deliver fast solutions to your project.

We offer a range of wires and other materials for the electronics sector, including high-quality silicon used in chip manufacturing.

Other materials include the development of titanium shafts for use in high-power electric cars, where the shaft needed to be capable of delivering 150hp and not being affected by any of the electrical or magnetic fields present in the vehicle.
