Two different case study applications were produced, which exploit a novel pilot scale surface treatment line in order to create intelligence on fibre based substrates. The first application was based on replacement of traditional pigment in coating colors by TPS (thermoplastic starch) to create smoother, better conducting surface for printed electronics. The second case study was based on addition of enzymes to create bioactive functionalities on the paper surface.
