| Abstract Scope |
Low sintering and biocompatible conductive metal inks are highly attractive to the growing flexible hybrid electronic (FHE) market and wearable health care diagnostics applications. But temperature sensitivity of the substrates and biocompatibility of the inks are being the main challenge to the rapid growth of this technology. This work focuses on the development of multi-jet printer-compatible gold nanoparticle inks and the development of epidermal electronic tattoos (e-tattoos) for noninvasive health care diagnostic devices. Detailed analysis of the material characterization, ink properties, and printing parameters for multiple printer modalities including Ink Jet printer (IJP), Aerosol Jet printer (AJP), and Plasma Jet printer (PJP) performed. Also, Low-temperature photonic sintering and in situ plasma sintering of the printed nanomaterials on a wide variety of substrates are studied for achieving bulk-like performances for the printed structures. Finally, multiple biocompatible epidermal sensors are developed using scalable additive manufacturing and post-processing procedures. |
