“…Aerosol jet printing atomizes the polymer solution enabling it to quickly dry on the substrate and reduce the coffee ring effect seen with other techniques that have slower drying times [12]. The use of aerosol jet printing has been previously demonstrated for depositing dielectric materials for both capacitor and TFTs [11,[39][40][41][42][43][44]. Several of these studies have highlighted the usefulness of aerosol jet printing for PVA specifically, as the dielectric material [39,41,42].…”

With the rise of the internet of things and applications such as smart packaging, the need for low cost, disposable temperature sensors with minimum environmental impact are critical. In this study, we report fully printed capacitive temperature sensors made from bio-degradable dielectric materials. All layers were aerosol jet printed and the areal capacitance was characterized at several temperatures between room temperature (22 ˚C) and 80 ˚C. Using a bilayer dielectric structure, a layer of poly(vinyl alcohol) was encapsulated with polycaprolactone through interfacial crosslinking to protect it against humidity. Various concentrations and layer amounts of poly(vinyl alcohol) were investigated, with the most effective capacitors consisting of a single layer of poly(vinyl alcohol) deposited from a 5.0 mg mL-1 solution followed by a layer of the UV-crosslink-able polycaprolactone deposited from 2.0 mg mL-1 solution, achieving a 43 ± 6% increase in areal capacitance at 80 °C when compared to room temperature, measured at a frequency of 501 Hz.

“…[238,264,265] It has better resolution, can avoid the coffeering effect, and can use a wider range of materials and deposition rates, but the AJP system is costly and requires more maintenance than inkjet. Its application is reported in manufacturing various sensors, [266][267][268][269][270] electronic components, [271][272][273][274][275] electronic circuits' micro-electrical connections, [245,276,277] and mmwave circuits. [278] There is no reported usage of AJP in the manufacturing of rectenna, except for one report of a passive RFID tag.…”

The Internet of Things is currently one of the fastest-growing branches in electronics. The development of energy storage systems and the miniaturization of dedicated printed circuit boards significantly influence that growth. However, the need for batteries and traditional printed circuit boards still limits devices' minimum size, weight, and cost, narrowing the application area. Energy harvesters and wireless power transfer systems fabricated with printed electronics can significantly reduce such devices' weight, size, and cost. Printed electronics technology provides scalable tools for many electronics applications, shortening the validation time and enabling new low-cost or disposable solutions on lightweight and flexible substrates embedded inside 3D printed structures and directly on device housings. Energy harvesting and wireless power transfer systems in electronic devices can provide enough power to minimize battery capacity and size or even eliminate the need for batteries in low-power applications. This review presents an adaptation of printed electronics technology in the fabrication of radio frequency energy harvesters and wireless power transfer rectennas for IoT applications. Last, perspectives for development towards greater integration with microsystems, transient electronics with ecofriendly materials, adaptation for next-generation telecommunication systems, and 3D structural electronics solutions are briefly discussed.

“…Also, conducted studies describe the realization of printed structures, such as antennas [12,13], sensors [14], filters [15], and other printed structures. For example, authors [16] successfully realized a ring resonator using Aerosol Jet Printing (AJP) technology. AJP in general uses specially designed inks and therefore transfer to large production could be problematic as well as AJP itself is not suitable for largearea prints.…”

Printed Electronics (PE) technology has obtained considerable attention due to the simplification of the manufacturing process that can be fully additive. In addition, PE offers possibility to use low-cost, low-temperature substrates, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) foil, which could serve as an alternative to conventional high-frequency substrates, like Rogers. In this study, digital printing technology direct write, or so-called dispensing is used to print microstrip Rectangular-shaped resonators (RSRs) on a flexible PET foil and a semi-flexible Rogers 4003 substrate. Resonators are printed by a contact dispenser Nordson EFD Pro Plus 4L/A from a conductive silver-based DuPont PE 874 paste. The selected straight and bent RSRs have deep resonance frequencies at 2.50, and 1.90 GHz, with an amplitude of about −50 and −60 dB, respectively. The mentioned resonators are simulated and printed; then the results are compared with a good match. Resonators on Rogers shows a good match between simulation and realization. On a PET substrate, a 6% shift of transmission zero location is observed. To better understand some probable challenges during the manufacturing of high-frequency resonators, the structure of printed layers is characterized, and the manufacturing process itself is completely analyzed.
