This chapter examines the role of inkjet printing for the fabrication of biosensors and bioelectronic devices. Inkjet printing is a promising technique that can be employed to directly fabricate sensors and electronics on a variety of substrates including flexible plastics and soft silicones. In contrast to state-of-the-art mask-based microfabrication it is capable of testing new materials and designs in a rapid prototyping approach. As such, it has the potential to play a powerful role in the development of customized devices. Here, we present an overview of recent research describing the application of inkjet technologies to print functional biosensors and bioelectronic devices. We discuss advantages and limitations of this approach and address possible routes to overcome current challenges for future developments in this field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
