| Abstract Scope |
Nano-manufacturing has been showing its potential to revolutionize a variety of researcher fields ranging from biomedical, electronics, optics, energy, and materials. Interestingly enough, studies about manufacturing nanoscale structures on already formed 3D surfaces are still in its infancy, while most of the nano-manufacturing approaches are centered to fabricate 3D structures. However, recent rapid growth in flexible and wearable electronics industry demands scalable and low-cost nano-manufacturing processes which can be directly applicable to 3D surfaces. For instance, a lack of patterning method of low-dimensional materials, also known as 2D materials, directly from 3D surfaces is one of the major issues that hamper widespread incorporation of 2D materials to flexible and biomedical applications such as smart contact lens and wearable electronics. This talk will introduce our recent approaches to directly pattern functional fibers on non-planar substrate to advance low-cost and scalable nanomanufacturing for flexible and wearable electronics. |
