Electronic articles can contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). At RISE, through PFAS analyses, we can identify which components in electronic articles that contain PFAS and provide advice on alternatives and substitution of PFAS. In research projects, we also work on developing alternatives to PFAS.
What is PFAS?
PFAS are synthetic chemicals composed of chains of carbon and fluorine, and they contain at least one fully fluorinated methyl group (CF3-) or methylene group (-CF2-). Both low molecular weight and polymeric compounds belong to the broad group of PFAS, with the three different types of polymeric PFAS being fluoropolymers, perfluoropolyethers, and side-chain fluorinated polymers.
Substitution of PFAS
Research has shown that studied PFAS have negative health effects on humans and animals. Due to the fact that PFAS do not break down in the environment, the widespread use of PFAS in various types of articles, chemical products, and processes has led to global contamination. To reduce human exposure to PFAS, and thereby the risk of long-term effects, many countries are now taking initiatives to reduce the use of PFAS and implementing strict regulations to protect both health and the environment. Within REACH, a broad restriction proposal is currently being processed that aims to regulate PFAS as a group in EU in most applications.
PFAS in electronics
In the electronics industry, PFAS are used, among other things, to make components water- and dirt-repellent, to insulate cables and wires and make them resistant to heat and chemical impact, to make plastics more fire-resistant, and to improve the durability and efficiency of batteries.
Does my electronic product contain PFAS?
An electronic product is a complex item consisting of many components, and it is common for the entity placing the product on the market not to have information about which components contain PFAS. At RISE, we apply our published systematic workflow for PFAS testing to determine whether there are PFAS in specific articles and chemical products.
Our analysis methodology also captures polymeric PFAS that can be found in electronics if PFAS is added to provide a function. Together with the customer, we review all components and make decisions on which components should be analyzed based on their function and the greatest likelihood of containing PFAS, to avoid the need to analyze every individual component.
Alternatives to PFAS in electronics
Based on the analyses we have conducted on electronic components, we see that many alternative materials are in use. In addition to looking at alternative materials, one can also consider redesigning the product or part of the product to avoid or reduce the use of PFAS. Keep an eye out for new alternatives, where there is a lot of development happening right now, particularly in the battery sector.
Circular electronics
Eliminating PFAS in electronics would benefit the potential for circular flows and enable recycling. Even recycled materials for use in new goods are included in the universal PFAS restriction proposal. Within the Circular Business Lab for Electronics initiative, RISE is making a concerted effort for the industry's circular development and use of electronic products.
Feel free to contact us if you would like advice on PFAS substitution or want to find out if your products contain PFAS!

The data driven transformation of electronics diagnostics require fundamental workflow changes and novel concept such as the semiconductor failure analysis ontology in order to utilize current and future AI tools for automated semiconductor diagnostics.
FA2IR builds on the Penta/Euripides project FA4.0 that has demonstrated the use of AI algorithms in Failure Analysis to improve the efficiency of analysis techniques. The FA2IR project will investigate important applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods to databases in microelectronic failure analysis (FA). The main objective of FA2IR is to get FA databases AI-ready and to develop improved FA4.0-AI-based methods for image and measurement data analysis. Standardization efforts will push digitalization standards within the international semiconductor community.
Expected effects and result
Reducing the time it takes to analyse microelectronic failures, enables companies to respond more quickly to production and field problems. The average analysis time will decrease and a higher data standardization level will be achieved after the project ends. Because of the enhanced efficiency in microelectronic AI-driven failure analysis, Companies can seize a larger share of the microelectronics market due to an increase in precision in failure assessment within microelectronics production processes due to a consistent reduction in data errors.

The Swedish Living Lab addresses the challenges associated with soil health on crop and animal production farms. Its focus is on issues such as soil compaction, poor soil structure, reduced biodiversity, and nutrient imbalances, particularly phosphorus surplus. The objective of the project is to enhance soil health through the integration of collaborative research and practical implementation. A total of fifteen co-created test sites, in addition to one or two lighthouse farms, will be employed for the purposes of collaborative research and development.
Solutions and goal
The potential solutions under consideration include crop rotations to enhance soil fertility and nitrogen delivery, cover cropping, conservation tillage, the use of lightweight autonomous tractors, controlled drainage, the replacement of mineral fertilisers with bio-based alternatives, biostimulants and biochar, as well as the sharing of manure between animal and crop farms. It is anticipated that the project will yield improved soil health, augmented farm productivity, and more sustainable agricultural practices.
Network
The Living Lab is led by the Department of Agriculture and Food of the Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE). Key stakeholders include research institutions, such as the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, as well as farmer representatives, such as HS Konsult and "The Farming in Balance" network, and relevant authorities, such as the National Board of Agriculture and the National Veterinary Authority. This multi-sectoral collaboration provides a platform for the development and testing of practical solutions.
This project aims to combine the concept pf XR training simulators with large language models (LLMs) to create a more dynamic and responsive training environment.
The goal is to develop a working prototype that integrates these technologies, enhancing language-based interactions in XR. By incorporating the latest advancements in multi-modal LLMs, the project seeks to move beyond basic text-based interactions and explore new, innovative applications in XR environments.
Expected effects and result
We aim to establish a consortium of collaborators through the organisers´ network to develop XR training simulators. By project end, we expect to produce a working prototype of a basic XR training scenario with an LLM-based character for user interaction. Additionally, we will generate a detailed report outlining further development steps, key application areas, challenges of language-specific training (e.g., Swedish), and potential ethical considerations.
Planned approach and implementation
This project emerged from 2023 workshops and inquiries exploring XR and AI, highlighting the need for a dynamic, responsive VR simulator enabled by LLM technology. These simulators could help individuals gain equitable education, overcome anxiety, or develop skills through continuous practice. We will involve representatives from our established EU and US networks, ensuring the expertise needed to develop the project and providing a strong foundation for future cross-country collaborations.

XR AAA syftar till att utveckla nya berättarformat inom Extended Reality (XR), med fokus på sociala VR-miljöer. I ett samarbete mellan Stockholms konstnärliga högskola (SKH) och RISE utforskar projektet plattformar som VRChat och Meta Horizon för att skapa bästa praxis kring dramaturgi, publikengagemang och deltagarinteraktion.
Projektet fokuserar på att utforska användarbeteenden och interaktioner inom XR, snarare än att utveckla ny teknik. Genom att använda existerande plattformar och verktyg kommer projektet att bidra till att forma framtidens berättarstrukturer inom sociala VR-ekosystem.
Bakgrund
Med det ökande intresset för sociala VR-plattformar, där användargenererade berättelser skapar dynamiska realtidsnarrativ, erbjuder XR AAA en möjlighet att utforska nya sätt att berätta i digitala miljöer. Projektet tar inspiration från rollspel och improvisationsgrupper i VR och undersöker hur dessa metoder kan utvecklas för bredare kulturella och pedagogiska syften.
Målet är att skapa en djupare förståelse för hur interaktivt berättande i realtid kan användas för att engagera både aktiva deltagare och åskådare.
Mål
XR AAA kommer att utveckla och dokumentera nya narrativa format i sociala VR-miljöer. Genom att producera prototyper och sammanställa "How To"-guider, kommer projektet att skapa en kunskapsbas för framtida XR-utvecklare och berättare. Detta kommer att göra det möjligt för fler att skapa egna VR-upplevelser och engagera sig i interaktivt berättande.
Projektet är ett Vinnova-projekt inom ramen för utlysningen "Innovativa samarbeten med USA inom XR - steg 1".
Immersiv teknik skapar en digital miljö som en person kan interagera med baserat på olika intryck som ljud, känsel, syn och lukt. I detta projekt undersöker vi hur tekniken kan användas i utbildningen genom att erbjuda interaktiva, realistiska övningsmoment oberoende av plats i veterinärutbildningen och offentlig kontroll i samband med slakt.
Immersiv teknik har många lovande användningsområden. Inom utbildning kan en användare kliva in i en tredimensionell värld som tillhandahåller interaktiva övningsmoment. De pedagogiska momenten kan efterlikna verkligheten på ett trovärdigt sätt samt tillgängliggöra mer utbildning oberoende av tid och plats. Det är också möjligt att öva på momenten om och om igen med mindre resursanvändning. En förutsättning för att åstadkomma detta är att det finns leverantörer som kan skapa innehållet till denna 3D värld och leverera tekniken till användarna på ett tillräckligt smidigt och ekonomiskt hållbart.
Vi har i detta projekt utforskat hur immersiv teknik kan användas i akademiska grundutbildning som leder till veterinärexamen, samt för fortbildning och vidareutbildning av personer som arbetar med offentlig kontroll i samband med slakt och vilthantering. För att nå dit behöver tekniken upphandlas. Förenklat är upphandling ett hjul med tre delar. Den första delen handlar om att förbereda upphandlingen. Den andra delen handlar om att genomföra upphandlingen och den tredje delen handlar om att utvärdera upphandlingen för att sedan börja om på nytt. Vårt projekt är en förstudie där fokus huvudsakligen ligger på den första delen i upphandlingshjulet där teknik, organisation och policy står i centrum. Följande forskningsfrågor har identifierats.
Teknik: Hur långt framme är tekniken, vilka leverantörer finns, vad kostar tekniken och hur kan den användas i utbildningssyfte för detta ändamål (hårdvara och mjukvara)? Hur kan tekniken möta organisationens behov utifrån funktionskrav alternativt tekniska krav? Hur säkerställa att tekniken är effektiv och trygg att använda på lika villkor för kvinnor och män? Hur kan kravställan ske utan att denna blir föråldrad pga. snabb teknikutveckling? IT-säkerhet behöver också utredas då data är Klass 2.
Organisation: Vilka behov har myndigheterna som kan mötas med immersiv teknik t.ex. utifrån resiliens? Vilka delar av myndighetens organisation behöver aktiveras? Hur påverkas kraven för att få examen och kursplaner vid övergång till immersiv teknik dvs slopa eller ändra krav på fysisk närvaro på en viss plats? Hur säkerställa bibehållen kvalitet i utbildningen vid övergång till immersiv teknik? Finns det andra alternativ för att möta myndigheternas behov?
Policy/regelverk: Vilka regler gäller för immersiv teknik? Går det att gå över till digital undervisning i stället för fysisk dito? Vilket upphandlingsförfarande är lämpligt? Hur kan innehållet i upphandlingsunderlaget se ut utifrån villkor, kriterier och krav? Immersiv teknik innebär att frågor om personlig integritet/etik samt hur datadelning ska gå till behöver utredas. Hur hantera risker t.ex. utifrån cybersäkerhet och krav på god arbetsmiljö? Hur kan olika moment eventuellt spelas in och sparas i olika system för examination?
