Abstract Scope |
The adoption of printed electronics is exponentially increasing in various industries. However, the widespread use of nonbiodegradable substrates is leading to a significant rise in electronic waste generation and pollution. To tackle this issue, the ability to print on biodegradable substrates is crucial. However, existing liquid/ink-based printing technologies are not compatible with these substrates. Here, I present a novel inkless method for dry printing conductive silver lines on biodegradable papers, enabling the future development of papertronics. Pure nanoparticles are laser-generated and transported by a carrier gas to the nozzle head, where they are laser-sintered in real-time to form the desired patterns without causing damage to the paper substrate. I also discuss the influence of printing parameters on the papers and the electrical characteristics of the printed lines. Additionally, mechanical properties such as bending, twisting, and adhesion are examined to assess the durability of the printed lines. |
