| Abstract Scope |
The interest in additively manufactured electronics (AME) or so-called printed electronics is rising fast as it can potentially enable the internet of things (IoT) with a wide range of applications in healthcare, automotive, aerospace, and energy industries. The current printing technologies are, however, liquid-based methods such as inkjet and aerosol jet printers, which suffer from major drawbacks, including complex ink formulations, surfactants/contaminants, limited printing inks, and the need for high-temperature post-processing to sinter the particles and remove the surfactants. This talk will present a novel multimaterial dry printing technology for flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) and sensors. Nanoparticles of various materials are generated in-situ and on-demand that are then directed toward the printer nozzle and laser-sintered in real-time to form desired patterns and structures layer-by-layer. This transformative dry printing process allows the on-demand formation and in-situ laser sintering of pure nanoparticles for printing future flexible hybrid electronics and sensors. |
