Biodegradable Materials for Multilayer Transient Printed Circuit Boards

Abstract: Biodegradable printed circuit boards based on water-soluble materials are demonstrated. These systems can dissolve in water within 10 mins to yield end-products that are environmentally safe. These and related approaches have the potential to reduce hazardous waste streams associated with electronics disposal.

“…For biological applications, biocompatible and biodegradable conductive pastes such as those based on tungsten and zinc can be used. 38 General findings and trends regarding straindependence of electronic properties are expected to be transformative to circuits fabricated based on other metal and semimetal nano and microparticles.…”

“…These considerations motivate research into forms of electronics that can degrade naturally into the environment to harmless end products. Such technology is also of interest for other, unique classes of applications, ranging from biodegradable, temporary electronic implants to hardware secure data systems and unrecoverable, field-deployed devices (9)(10)(11)(12). Sometimes referred to collectively as transient electronics, these types of devices can be constructed by using designer materials, such as specially formulated polymers or natural products (13)(14)(15)(16), or clever combinations of established materials, well-aligned to existing infrastructure (e.g., device designs, circuit topologies, manufacturing capabilities) in conventional, nontransient electronics (17)(18)(19).…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] Like traditional devices, transient devices should have a solid structure and maintain reliable high-performance operation over a long lifespan. However, the advantage over traditional devices is the transience that enables the device to degrade in a controlled manner once an external trigger commences.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][7][8][9] Water is the typical trigger for the dissolution of the constituent materials that make up these electronic devices. In recent years, transience technology has 4 become more prominent in small electronic devices, which motivates us to adopt this transience concept and extend it to energy storage devices.…”
