“…For these reasons, laser and photonic sintering are most often used in those cases where the substrates do not allow direct thermal sintering . So far, laser and photonic curing have been successfully employed for the sintering of Au and Ag nanoparticles‐based inks. Particularly interesting is the approach used by Ko et al in which laser curing is used not only to sinter but also to pattern the printed conductive layer.…”

Inkjet-printing is one of the most important fabrication techniques in the field of printed electronics. Its main advantages include the possibility of fabricating, at ambient conditions and by employing a digital layout, a large variety of electronic devices on different types of substrates, including flexible plastic ones. In this paper, the utilization of inkjet-printing as an important fabrication tool for the realization of organic transistors and circuits/sensing systems based on such type of transistors is reviewed. The most important aspects of the fabrication process, including ink formulation, printing deposition, and postprinting treatment, are described in detail. The most significant examples of inkjet-printed organic transistors of different types (field-effect, electrolytegated, and electrochemical) are presented and finally an overview of their applications as building blocks of more complex electronic circuits and systems for the detection and quantification of specific measurands is provided.

“…The unstable Cu(I), typically used as Cu 2 O NPs, can cycle between Cu + and Cu + 2 and efficiently catalyze a large number of reactions (White et al, 2006;Jiang et al, 2014;Tran et al, 2012), and has been studied for antimicrobial Abbasi et al, 2016) and antifouling activities. Cu(II), usually in the form of CuO, is used for energy storage (Qiu et al, 2013;Xu et al, 2015) and sensing (Albrecht et al, 2016;Pourbeyram and Mehdizadeh, 2016;Tian et al, 2015) applications. Cu + 2 can also be synthesized as Cu(OH) 2 NPs.…”

“…It is estimated that only a few hundred tons of the total production were converted to Cu-based nanoparticles (Cu NPs) , despite there being many emerging applications for nano-Cu materials. Many applications involve the traditional role of Cu as a conductor, such as conductive dyes (Albrecht et al, 2016;Hokita et al, 2015;Tam and Ng, 2015;Kharisov and Kharissova, 2010;Tsai et al, 2015;Gopalan et al, 2016) or heat transfer fluids (Park et al, 2015;Montes et al, 2015;Azizi et al, 2016;Rizwan-ul-Haq et al, 2016), but the use of nano-Cu is rapidly expanding into novel applications such as catalysts in organic synthesis (Dugal and Mascarenhas, 2015;Lennox et al, 2016;Barot et al, 2016), sensors (Albrecht et al, 2016;Tsai et al, 2015;Gopalan et al, 2016;Brahman et al, 2016;Pourbeyram and Mehdizadeh, 2016), solar cells (Yoon et al, 2010;Parveen et al, 2016;Shen et al, 2016), light-emitting diodes , hydrogen generation (Liu et al, 2015a;Liu et al, 2015b), and drug delivery (Woźniak-Budych et al, 2016). Based on the antifungal and antimicrobial properties of Cu + 2 , Cu NPs are actively being developed for applications in agriculture and food preservation (Park et al, 2015;Montes et al, 2015;Dugal and Mascarenhas, 2015;Ray et al, 2015;Kalatehjari et al, 2015;Ponmurugan et al, 2016;Maniprasad et al, 2015;Majumder and Neogi, 2016;Villanueva et al, 2016), textiles …”

Comparative environmental fate and toxicity of copper nanomaterials

et al. 2017

A B S T R A C TGiven increasing use of copper-based nanomaterials, particularly in applications with direct release, it is imperative to understand their human and ecological risks. A comprehensive and systematic approach was used to determine toxicity and fate of several Cu nanoparticles (Cu NPs). When used as pesticides in agriculture, Cu NPs effectively control pests. However, even at low (5-20 mg Cu/plant) doses, there are metabolic effects due to the accumulation of Cu and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Embedded in antifouling paints, Cu NPs are released as dissolved Cu + 2 and in nano-and micron-scale particles. Once released, Cu NPs can rapidly (hours to weeks) oxidize, dissolve, and form CuS and other insoluble Cu compounds, depending on water chemistry (e.g. salinity, alkalinity, organic matter content, presence of sulfide and other complexing ions). More than 95% of Cu released into the environment will enter soil and aquatic sediments, where it may accumulate to potentially toxic levels (> 50-500 μg/L). Toxicity of Cu compounds was generally ranked by high throughput assays as: Cu + 2 > nano Cu(0) > nano Cu(OH) 2 > nano CuO > micron-scale Cu compounds. In addition to ROS generation, Cu NPs can damage DNA plasmids and affect embryo hatching enzymes. Toxic effects are observed at much lower concentrations for aquatic organisms, particularly freshwater daphnids and marine amphipods, than for terrestrial organisms. This knowledge will serve to predict environmental risks, assess impacts, and develop approaches to mitigate harm while promoting beneficial uses of Cu NPs.

“…A Novacentrix PulseForge 1200 photonic curing system was used for this purpose. Photonic sintering is based on the distinctly higher absorption of metal nanoparticles to visible light compared to paper and polymeric films [18]. Samples are dried fast enough due to the high-energetic intense-pulsed light (IPL) sintering to form a flat copper layer without being blown off.…”

Abstract-Coplanar monopole antennas printed using copper oxide nanoparticles on flexible substrates are characterized in order to study the effect of the ink drop spacing on the antenna parameters. Polyethylene Terephthalate and Epson paper were the chosen flexible substrates, and the antennas were designed to operate at 20 GHz. A maximum conductivity of 2.8 × 10 7 Ω −1 m −1 was obtained for the films printed on Polyethylene Terephthalate using a drop spacing of 20 µm. The corresponding antenna achieved a gain and an efficiency of 1.82 dB and 97.6%, respectively. Experiments showed that smaller drop spacings lead to bulging of the printed lines while the antenna performance worsens for longer ones. At the same drop spacing, antennas printed on Epson paper substrate showed a −10 dB return loss bandwidth which extended from 17.9 GHz to 23.3 GHz, leading to a fractional bandwidth of 26.0%.
