“…Before focusing on sensors as a whole, we will have a look at elemental electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, diodes and transistors. The reader is invited to refer to recently published reviews which focus more particularly on these components, for example that of Li et al [ 90 ], published in 2018, or that of Kang et al [ 115 ], published in 2020. We will also review biofuel cells, expected to power implanted or external sensors, which also require (bio)degradability.…”

Nowadays, sensor devices are developing fast. It is therefore critical, at a time when the availability and recyclability of materials are, along with acceptability from the consumers, among the most important criteria used by industrials before pushing a device to market, to review the most recent advances related to functional electronic materials, substrates or packaging materials with natural origins and/or presenting good recyclability. This review proposes, in the first section, passive materials used as substrates, supporting matrixes or packaging, whether organic or inorganic, then active materials such as conductors or semiconductors. The last section is dedicated to the review of pertinent sensors and devices integrated in sensors, along with their fabrication methods.

“…The first example is in the area of sustainable and transient electronics. (20,21) TT exhibits a low environmental footprint, owing to its materials composition and production methods. Moreover, its ultralow cost makes it an ideal candidate for the fabrication of transient sensors that can be safely degraded in the environment after deployment.…”

“…Besides being a skin-contact benign material, TT has also a low environmental footprint, the latter being a main advantage in the forthcoming era of ubiquitous and ideally transient electronics. (20,21) Our group has been working on the development of polymeric conformable substrates for many years. Ultrathin free-standing nanofilms of conjugated polymers were studied (22,23) with various applications in sensing and actuation.…”

Temporary tattoo as unconventional substrate for conformable and transferable electronics on skin and beyond

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the growing field of conformable electronics, among the various approaches so far, tattoo technology has emerged. Here temporary tattoo paper is adopted as unconventional substrate to build up transferable body compliant devices, which establish a stable and long-lasting interface with the skin. Tattoo-based devices have shown their capabilities in multiple fields, with main application in human health biomonitoring. Such approach is advancing the state-of-the-art, overcoming some limits of existing technologies, as in the case of skin-contact electrodes and sweat analysis. Temporary tattoo has also been adopted in other fields as in organic electronics, within the development of organic solar cells and transferable edible transistors. Multiple and complementary fabrication approaches on temporary tattoos have been demonstrated, spanning from traditional vacuum-based deposition methods to various printing technologies. In this review, together with reporting and discussing the main fabrication methods and applications of tattoo technology, we describe the main features of the tattoo substrate. New insights on its material composition and properties are given, discussing the pros and cons in comparison with other approaches adopted in conformable electronics. Together with providing a comprehensive and up to date review of advancements in tattoo technology, this review aims to contribute to ain a better understanding of the capabilities offered by such low cost and versatile substrate. This can help in opening up new research for emerging applications, like in the relevant field of sustainable electronics.

“…[ 46 ] Kang et al presented a review article that describes about biodegradable (moisture, ultraviolet [UV], heat, and other parameters) flexible and stretchable organic and inorganic electronic devices. [ 47 ] Several devices on degradation basis are discussed from active, passive, reactive, sensor, to energy generation, and storage components. The deposition was carried out using lithography, plasma‐enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), atomic layer deposition, electron‐beam and thermal evaporation, etching processes, etc.…”

Inkjet Printing of Bioresorbable Materials for Manufacturing Transient Microelectronic Devices

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Herein, the inkjet printing of bioresorbable materials tuned to function as electrode, dielectric, and semiconductor layers is reported, thereby developing multilayered microelectronic devices such as capacitors and thin‐film transistors, potentially applicable to address specific medical needs. Polymers and natural materials, e.g., poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene)‐poly(styrenesulfonate), shellac, and β‐carotene, indigo inks are implemented using jettable formulations, that are either commercially procured or self‐formulated, designed explicitly to deposit fundamental layers for capacitors and transistors. Several parameters are evaluated and adjusted to precisely define a layer's thickness, topology, and geometry, matching with the properties of a fully biodegradable Ormocere substrate, explicitly developed for the specific biological applications. Furthermore, these parameters support in acquiring the intended electrical properties of layers, i.e., conductivity, insulation, semiconductivity, capacitance, and current versus voltage characteristics. The entire manufacturing process of devices is accomplished on the Ormocere substrate under ambient conditions and below 60 °C. The results exhibit that the electrical characteristics of the printed functional layers and devices show direct influence to the physical geometry of the printed features. A fully printed capacitor demonstrates capacitance of 1 nF cm−2, whereas transistors show p‐type and n‐type characteristics with current 0.18–5 μA and mobility 6 × 10−4–7 × 10−2 cm2 V−1 s−1.
