“…The power source was an extremely lightweight battery (1.4 g) to preserve the lightweight nature of the paper substrate. In the future, the battery could be directly printed into the paper to further reduce both the weight and the cost 13 . Interconnects were directly printed onto the paper using a silver flake ink.…”

“…Biodegradable substrates such as paper are especially interesting for disposable UAV systems. Most of the electrical components required for such a system have already been demonstrated on flexible substrates; these components include sensors, batteries, solar cells, transistors, passive components, and antennas [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] . The key remaining piece is the realization of mechanical actuation with a form factor and weight that are suitable for UAV integration.…”

We combined lightweight and mechanically flexible printed transistors and actuators with a paper unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) glider prototype to demonstrate electrically controlled glide path modification in a lightweight, disposable UAV system. The integration of lightweight and mechanically flexible electronics that is offered by printed electronics is uniquely attractive in this regard because it enables flight control in an inexpensive, disposable, and easily integrated system. Here, we demonstrate electroactive polymer (EAP) actuators that are directly printed into paper that act as steering elements for low cost, lightweight paper UAVs. We drive these actuators by using ion gel-gated organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) that are ideally suited as drive transistors for these actuators in terms of drive current and frequency requirements. By using a printing-based fabrication process on a paper glider, we are able to deliver an attractive path to the realization of inexpensive UAVs for ubiquitous sensing and monitoring flight applications.

“…[2] Recent review articles summarize these energy generation and storage approaches. [3][4][5][6] Among these approaches, paper-based fuel cells stand out as promising candidates to fulfill the energy requirements of portable tests. Built upon the benefits of microfluidic fuel cells, [7,8] they do not require a polymer electrolyte membrane as they rely on laminar flow to separate the reactants.…”

This work demonstrates a stand-alone power source that integrates a paper-based hydrogen fuel cell with a customized chemical heater that produces hydrogen in-situ upon the addition of a liquid. The presented approach operates by capillary action and takes advantage of the hydrogen released as a by-product of an exothermic reaction used in point-of-care diagnostics. The paperbased fuel cell produces a maximum power of 25.8 mW (103.2 mW cm -2 ), which is suitable for powering a diversity of electrical devices such as commercially available digital pregnancy tests and glucometers. While device shape and dimensions can be customized, here it is shown that the fuel cell can be designed in a compact form factor and footprint comparable to a lateral flow test while providing a remarkable power output. This approach holds great promise for powering portable diagnostics, as the generated electric power could enable device functionalities required for advanced assays, such as device timing, actuation, and signal quantification. Part of the same liquid sample that is to be analyzed (urine, saliva, water, etc) could be used to trigger the hydrogen generation and start the fuel cell operation.

“…tubular bioreactor, single chamber, and carbon cloth-based anode) is pretty long (3-15 days, Chang et al, 2005;Kumlanghan et al, 2007;Liu et al, 2014;Wang et al, 2014), making it impossible for real-time shock monitoring and prompt recovery of signals after shock. A novel membrane-based MFC sensor was developed using hydrophilic microporous filter membrane to shorten the acclimation period to 2-3 h (Fraiwan et al, 2013;Nguyen et al, 2014;Xu et al, 2015). But filter membrane is awfully fragile and expensive for "disposable" application in wastewater systems.…”
