“…24 The results indicate that the rheological behaviour and dispersion state of a conductive ink used in inkjet printing significantly affect the ink's printability and the quality of the pattern produced, and so they should be carefully controlled. 101 According to Ihalainen et al, 102 the viscosity of an ideal conductive ink for inkjet printing should be in the range of 1-20 mPas to avoid problems during the printing process, including nozzle clogging, and satellite or double droplets. If the conductive ink is highly viscous, the jetting frequency will be reduced as the rate of reservoir filling is decreased.…”

The promising and extraordinary properties of graphene have attracted significant interest, making graphene an alternative to replace many traditional materials for many applications, particularly in conductive ink for the fabrication of flexible electronics. For the past 10 years, numerous studies have been reported on the synthesis of graphene conductive ink for printing on flexible substrates for various electronic applications. The development of graphene-based ink is reviewed, with the main focus on the types of graphenelike materials in conductive inks, and the compositions and important properties of those inks. Another intention behind this review is to compare the pros and cons of graphene-based ink with those using other common conductive materials, such as gold nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles, copper nanoparticles, conductive polymers and carbon nanotubes. Recent works on graphene hybrid-based ink containing other metallic nanoparticles as an alternative way to improve the electrical properties of the conductive inks are also reported. Brief comparisons between inkjet printing and other printing techniques for the fabrication of flexible electronics are discussed.

“…For large scale printing, biofunctional devices have also been prepared by integrating sensing components and cells with OE materials through inkjet and flexographic printing. These approaches have successfully demonstrated an ability to pattern enzymes and proteins for biosensing and drug delivery with microscale resolution [123,124]. Organic bioelectronics can also be used to regulate the physiology and processes of cells, tissues, and organs in a chemically specific manner and at high spatio-temporal resolution [11].…”

Printed electronics is simultaneously one of the most intensely studied emerging research areas in science and technology and one of the fastest growing commercial markets in the world today. For the past decade the potential for organic electronic (OE) materials to revolutionize this printed electronics space has been widely promoted. Such conviction in the potential of these carbonbased semiconducting materials arises from their ability to be dissolved in solution, and thus the exciting possibility of simply printing a range of multifunctional devices onto flexible substrates at high speeds for very low cost using standard roll-to-roll printing techniques. However, the transition from promising laboratory innovations to large scale prototypes requires precise control of nanoscale material and device structure across large areas during printing fabrication. Maintaining this nanoscale material control during printing presents a significant new challenge that demands the coupling of OE materials and devices with clever nanoscience fabrication approaches that are adapted to the limited thermodynamic levers available. In this review we present an update on the strategies and capabilities that are required in order to manipulate the nanoscale structure of large area printed organic photovoltaic (OPV), transistor and bioelectronics devices in order to control their device functionality. This discussion covers a range of efforts to manipulate the electroactive ink materials and their nanostructured assembly into devices, and also device processing strategies to tune the nanoscale material properties and assembly routes through printing fabrication. The review finishes by highlighting progress in printed OE devices that provide a feedback loop between laboratory nanoscience innovations and their feasibility in adapting to large scale printing fabrication. The ability to control material properties on the nanoscale whilst simultaneously printing functional devices on the square metre scale is prompting innovative developments in the targeted nanoscience required for OPV, transistor and biofunctional devices.

“…Inkjet printing allows the production of 2D and 3D structures as well as co‐deposition of more than 1 material due to the possibility of multiple deposition heads . There are 3 types of inkjet‐based technologies, namely, drop‐on‐demand inkjet printing and continuous inkjet printing and electrohydrodynamic inkjet printing, and they are characterized by the presence of a printer head (ie, thermal or piezoelectric) and the need to control both drop formation velocity and fluid viscosity . Continuous inkjet printing involves the ejection of a continuous stream of liquid through an orifice (nozzle), which then breaks up under surface tension forces into a stream of drops (~100 μm in diameter), while in drop‐on‐demand printing, the liquid is ejected from the printhead only when a drop (~10‐50 μm in diameter) is required, the production of which occurs rapidly in response to a trigger sign .…”

Three‐dimensional printing (3DP) technologies, which are sets of powerful deposition methods employed to fabricate 3D objects with materials in the fields of material sciences and engineering, biomedical and biocompatible structural components, automotive, aviation, and polymers, among others, are currently rapidly developing manufacturing technologies. The methods have significant advantages, which include designing flexibility, enhanced geometrical freedom, low cost, and net shape manufacture, among others, over the traditional “subtractive” method. This review highlights the major 3D printing techniques, especially in the fields of advanced polymeric material fabrication and engineering, as well as the synergy in the incorporation of different types of polymeric materials and composites in a process that will lead to an enhancement of dimensional accuracy for 3D technologies. Furthermore, composite ink systems especially polymer‐based and hydrogel‐based in tissue engineering applications are also discussed.
