Fabrication and performances of silver grid transparent conducting films and heaters on glass and PET substrates based on fractal periodic grid pattern design

Screen-Printed Transparent Flexible Sensors for Liquid Solvent Detection

“…9−11 The focus of this work is on the development and optimization of AgNWs ink for screen printing on flexible substrates, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Screen printing stands out compared with other deposition methods, such as inkjet printing, 12 lithography, 13 spray coating, 14 and screen printing. 15 Because spin coating offers uniformity but struggles with precise electrode patterning, inkjet printing faces challenges with nanowires because of clogging risks from their high aspect ratio, and lithography, although precise, is notably costly.…”

Because spin coating offers uniformity but struggles with precise electrode patterning, inkjet printing faces challenges with nanowires because of clogging risks from their high aspect ratio, and lithography, although precise, is notably costly. − In contrast, screen printing emerges as an optimal method for AgNWs on PET because of its ability to create diverse design patterns with simple operation and affordability and it is even adaptable for scaled-up productions using machines like roll-to-roll printers .…”

One-step fabrication of highly stable, durable, adhesion enhanced, flexible, transparent conducting films based on silver nanowires and neutralized PEDOT:PSS

“…In the last decade, there has been a growing interest to develop ITO alternatives for flexible electronic devices. Flexible electronics have been widely explored based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) [28][29][30][31][32][33][34], graphene [34][35][36][37][38][39], conducting polymers (PEDOT:PSS) [40][41][42][43], metal meshes and metal grids [44][45][46][47][48][49]…”

High‐throughput laser‐based surface functionalization for fabrication of superhydrophobic soda‐lime glass

“…In recent years, laser-based processing techniques have been demonstrated as an effective method for manufacturing different superhydrophobic materials and functional surfaces owing to several key advantages including high processing efficiency, no mechanical contact, process flexibility and controllability, and environmental friendliness. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Previously, researchers have been fabricating glass materials with extreme wettability using various laser-based techniques. Ahsan et al 17 fabricated superhydrophobic soda-lime glass using a single beam femtosecond laser.…”
