Research shows potential of biodegradable circuit boards for wireless comms tech
Published: 24 October 2025
The partnership between the University of Glasgow and Jiva Materials aims to cut down on the electronic waste produced by traditional printed circuit boards, or PCBs. In a new white paper published on the University’s website, the partners demonstrate how Soluboards can be used for radio frequency applications. They show that the PCBs can transmit signals at frequencies exceeding 4 GHz, which covers common wireless applications such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and RFID.
