“…Additive techniques that enable freeform optical waveguides are an attractive pathway for compact and efficient optical circuitry. The first demonstration of polymer optical waveguides (POW) using AJP was achieved by depositing a UV curable photopolymer on to a glass substrate [61]. Wetting of the photopolymer proved challenging and required a ten-minute exposure to ethylene glycol to adapt the surface energy of the substrate.…”

Aerosol Jet Printing (AJP) is an emerging contactless direct write approach aimed at the production of fine features on a wide range of substrates. Originally developed for the manufacture of electronic circuitry, the technology has been explored for a range of applications, including, active and passive electronic components, actuators, sensors, as well as a variety of selective chemical and biological responses. Freeform deposition, coupled with a relatively large stand-off distance, is enabling researchers to produce devices with increased geometric complexity compared to conventional manufacturing or more commonly used direct write approaches. Wide material compatibility, high resolution and independence of orientation have provided novelty in a number of applications when AJP is conducted as a digitally driven approach for integrated manufacture. This overview of the technology will summarise the underlying principles of AJP, review applications of the technology and discuss the hurdles to more widespread industry adoption. Finally, this paper will hypothesise where gains may be realised through this assistive manufacturing process.

“…In this technique, aerosol droplets are generated through nebulizing the liquid by an atomizer gas. A fraction of the aerosol droplets is exhausted, adjusting the flow rate of the deposited material 14 , 16 . The aerosol jet deposition rate depends on several parameters, in particular, the temperature of the liquid and the flow rates of the atomizer and exhaust.…”

“…The ink droplets are vaporized into small particles <5 μm, which are carried by high-speed airflow to the nozzle to complete the printing process. Aerosol printing has been widely adopted in the field of flexible electronics, such as for production of photovoltaic devices (King and Ramahi, 2009) and printing of optical waveguide devices (Reitberger et al, 2015).…”

Flexible electronics has attracted tremendous attention in recent years. The essential requirements for flexible electronics include excellent electrical properties, flexibility and stretchability. By introducing special structures or using flexible materials, electronic devices can be given excellent flexibility and stretchability. In this paper we review the realization of flexible electronics from the perspective of structural design strategies and materials; then, healthcare application of flexible electronic systems was introduced. Finally, a brief summary and outlook are presented.
