“…The surface energy of the primers used on the metal sheets is in the range between 28 mN m −1 and 33 mN m −1 . This is well below the surface energy of substrates commonly used for printed electronics, e.g., PET (polyethylene terephthalate) or polyimide [16] which both feature surface energies close to 40 mN m −1 . For appropriate wetting of the substrate during processing, it is crucial that the surface tension of the ink or paste is close to the surface energy of the primer.…”

We provide an overview on our recent work on embedded printed transducers. This includes the description of appropriate technologies as well as technological considerations for the integration of sensors and actuators into polymer coatings, e.g., of sheet metal. In particular, the integration of capacitive large area sensors, piezo-and pyroelectric layers, and strain gauges is discussed. The devised concept has the potential to introduce additional functionality to a variety of products without the need of significant changes to associated production processes.

“…The conductivity of printed SNP is lower than the bulk phase as a result of cracks, pores, surfactants and other impurities [22,23]. This explains why the measured conductivity of printed SNP is less than that of bulk silver.…”

We present a systematic approach for producing microstrip antennas using the state-of-the-art-inkjet printing technique. An initial antenna design based on the conventional square patch geometry is adopted as a benchmark to characterize the entire approach; the procedure then could be generalized to different antenna geometries and feeding techniques. For validation purposes, the antenna is designed and simulated using two different 3D full-wave electromagnetic simulation tools: Ansoft's High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS), which is based on the Finite Element Method (FEM), and CST Microwave Studio, which is based on the Finite Integration Technique (FIT). The systematic approach for the fabrication process includes the optimal number of printed layers, curing temperature, and curing time. These essential parameters need to be optimized to achieve the highest electrical conductivity, trace continuity, and structural robustness. The antenna is fabricated using Inkjet Printing Technology (IJPT) utilizing Sliver Nanoparticles (SNPs) conductive ink printed by DMP-2800 Dimatix FujiFilm materials printer.

“…Especially, organic solvent-based nanoparticle solutions have been utilized for useful processing in diverse applications. Various direct patterning processes such as micro-contact printing (μCP) [103][104][105], ink-jet printing [106][107][108] and screen printing [109][110][111] have been developed to fabricate nano-and micro-structures using nanoparticle solutions. However, these processes have limitations of resolution, throughput and cost efficiency for mass production of functional nano-structures.…”

Abstract. Nano-imprint lithography (NIL) is one of the most promising patterning technologies, in which nano-and micro-patterns are fabricated on various substrates. NIL provides high throughput and low cost in fabricating nano-structures due to its simple process and allows resolution below 10 nm without issues of light diffraction with conventional lithographic techniques. Its patterning mechanism is based on mechanical deformation of a polymer resist, which is simply done by pressing with a mold. This patterning mechanism also enables inorganic and organic-inorganic hybrid materials to be directly patterned by NIL. This article covers the recent progress of NIL-based direct patterning techniques and their applications to devices. Recently, functional nano-and micro-patterns have been applied to various electronic devices for the enhancement of overall performance. Fabrication methods of these devices are difficult using conventional lithographic techniques due to complex processes, high cost and low throughput. Direct NIL technique using functional resist can simply fabricate functional nano-and micro-structures and thus can be usefully applied to various industries.
