Printing electronic components on a chip edge and a stepped substrate with functional inks are an attractive approach for achieving flexible and inexpensive circuits for applications such as flexible displays and large-area chemo/bio/radioactivity sensors. However, it is still challenging because a sufficient cover of the 100 μm high step at the chip edge with a high-resolution pattern is the hardest part of the layer assembling by inkjet printing. Herein, we present a simple and effective strategy to generate electrically conductive line-patterns on stepped substrates by applying the DC electric field. On the surface of flat polyimide substrate, the fine line-pattern (less than 850 nm in line width) is achieved with a polyaniline coated MWCNT dispersed ink. Furthermore, 9.9 μm of line width is successfully patterned on the high stepped poly(dimethylsiloxane) substrate, higher than 100 μm, by printing only 1 time.
Cyclopentadiene is an important material for making norbornene, and can synthesize norbornene dicarboxylic ester through the maleate and Diels-Alder reaction. Also, a structure similar to that of the representative PVC plasticizer dioctyl phthalate(DOP) was synthesized, so as to confirm the structure of compounds through 1H-NMR, FT-IR, Mass, and HPLC, and to compare the basic properties with those of DOP.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
