“…Paper electronics is emerging owing to the possibility to realize circuits and electrical components avoiding conventional techniques [11][12][13][14] but presenting limitations in the realization of complex devices which can be produced only considering multilayer steps, thus lengthening the manufacturing process [1]. These limitations are usually related to the technologies employed in the realization of such devices, like screen-printing or inkjet printing, which allow only planar printings [11,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Another alternative can be the so-called 3D-origami technique, consists of a specific paper folding to develop a final electro-device [23,24].…”

Printed electronics is an expanding research field that can reach the goal of reducing the environmental impact on electronics exploiting renewable and biodegradable materials, like paper. In our work, we designed and tested a new method for fabricating hybrid smart devices on cellulose substrates by aerosol jet printing (AJP) and photonic curing, also known as flash lamp annealing (FLA), capable to cure low temperature materials without any damage. Three different cellulose-based materials (chromatographic paper, photopaper, cardboard) were tested. Multilayer capability and SMDs (surface mount devices) interconnections are possible permitting high flexibility in the fabrication process. Electrical and geometrical tests were performed to analyze the behavior of printed samples. Resulted resistivities are 26.3 × 10−8 Ω⋅m on chromatographic paper, 22.3 × 10−8 Ω⋅m on photopaper and 13.1 × 10−8 Ω⋅m on cardboard. Profilometer and optical microscope evaluations were performed to state deposition quality and penetration of the ink in cellulose materials (thicknesses equal to 24.9, 28.5, and 51 μm respectively for chromatographic paper, photopaper, and cardboard). Furthermore, bending (only chromatographic paper did not reach the break-up) and damp environment tests (no significant variations in resistance) where performed. A final prototype of a complete functioning multilayer smart devices on cellulose 3D-substrate is shown, characterized by multilayers, capacitive sensors, SMDs interconnections.

“…In particular, in the presence of carbon black a decrease of the over-potential for ascorbic acid oxidation was reported (from 0.47 to 0.28 V) compared with bare sensor, as well as a boosted sensitivity (3times). The proposed electrochemical sensor was able to detect ascorbic acid in a dietary supplement, quantifying 999 ± 130 mg with respect to the 1,000 mg reported on the label (Cinti et al, 2018). The results achieved have shown the reliability of the sensor for controlling the quality and quantity of ascorbic acid present in the dietary supplement, by means of small volumes (i.e., drop) and fast analysis time (i.e., 1 min).…”

The current international pharmaceutical scenario encompasses several steps in drug production, with complex and extremely long procedures. In the last few decades, scientific research has been trying to offer valid and reliable solutions to replace or support conventional techniques, in order to facilitate drug development procedures. These innovative approaches may have extremely positive effects in the production chain, supplying fast, and cost-effective quality as well as safety tests on active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and their excipients. In this context, the exploitation of electrochemical paper-based analytical devices (ePADs) is still in its infancy, but is particularly promising in the detection of APIs and excipients in tablets, capsules, suppositories, and injections, as well as for pharmacokinetic bioanalysis in real samples.

“…In many cases, only one layer is inkjet-printed, either the electrode or the sensing layer. Electrodes are often screen-printed and only the sensing layer is digitally printed [26,52] or the electrodes are inkjet-printed and the sensing layer is drop-casted [24,75], spray-coated [32,49,54], or screen-printed [33].…”

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Microelectronic devices have great potential to be integrated into the Internet of Things, bringing benefits to the environment, society, and economy. Especially, microscaled chemical sensors for environmental monitoring are of great interest since they can be manufactured by cost, time, and resource efficient inkjet printing technology. The aim of the present literature review is a reflection of state-of-the-art inkjet-printed chemiresistive sensors. It examines current material approaches used to realize printed chemiresistors, especially the challenges in the realisation of accurate electrode patterns as well as the deposition of various sensing materials by inkjet printing technology. The review will be completed by an overview of current research activities dealing with the integration of chemiresistive sensors into wireless applications. The result of this review confirms that during the last decades, the number of publications covering inkjet-printed chemical, especially chemiresistive, sensors and their introduction into the Internet of Things is growing. Furthermore, it reveals the need for further research regarding material science and printing technology compatibility to achieve reliable and reproducible chemiresistive sensors.
