“…Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is the most popular technique, which encompasses the high-temperature extrusion of the filament modeling the object from bottom to top. In the literature, several studies provide successful results of implementing FFF technology for the design of RFID antennas [81][82][83], broadband 5G on-package antennas [84], SRRs [85,86], microstrip resonators [87], dielectric resonator reflectarrays [88], and others.…”

The field of flexible electronics is undergoing an exponential evolution due to the demand of the industry for wearable devices, wireless communication devices and networks, healthcare sensing devices and the technology around the Internet of Things (IoT) framework. E-tex tiles are attracting attention from within the healthcare areas, amongst others, for providing the possibility of developing continuous patient monitoring solutions and customized devices to accommodate each patient’s specific needs. This review paper summarizes multiple approaches investigated in the literature for wearable/flexible resonators working as antenna-based systems, sensors and filters with special attention paid to the integration to flexible materials, especially textiles. This review manuscript provides a general overview of the flexible resonators’ advantages and drawbacks, materials, fabrication techniques and processes and applications. Finally, the main challenges and future prospects of wearable resonators are discussed.

“…To enhance the microwave dielectric properties, the polymer is removed by sintering the ceramic/polymer composites or is reserved for a specific function (e.g., flexibility). The aforementioned examples of multi-material 3D printing of microstrip antennas would likely have additional applications in filters [ 247 , 248 , 249 ], resonators [ 234 , 250 ], and isolators [ 251 ].…”

In recent years, functional ceramic devices have become smaller, thinner, more refined, and highly integrated, which makes it difficult to realize their rapid prototyping and low-cost manufacturing using traditional processing. As an emerging technology, multi-material 3D printing offers increased complexity and greater freedom in the design of functional ceramic devices because of its unique ability to directly construct arbitrary 3D parts that incorporate multiple material constituents without an intricate process or expensive tools. Here, the latest advances in multi-material 3D printing methods are reviewed, providing a comprehensive study on 3D-printable functional ceramic materials and processes for various functional ceramic devices, including capacitors, multilayer substrates, and microstrip antennas. Furthermore, the key challenges and prospects of multi-material 3D-printed functional ceramic devices are identified, and future directions are discussed.
