Inkjet printing of nano-silver conductive lines on polyimide substrates

Encapsulating and inkjet-printing flexible conductive patterns on a fluoroelastomer for harsh hydrocarbon fluid environments

“…Among them, inkjet printing is popular because of its ability to print directly on a flexible substrate and numerous advantages including mask-free fabrication and fabricating the whole device in a single and transfer-free processing step. 5 Research on the inkjet printing of conductive silver ink onto flexible substrates like polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), 6,7 polyethylene terephthalate (PET), 8,9 polyimide/Kapton, 10,11 and textiles 12 has been completed; however, direct printing of silver ink on a FKM substrate and encapsulation of these printed patterns with FKM have not been explored to the authors' knowledge.…”

Antidelaminating, Thermally Stable, and Cost-Effective Flexible Kapton Platforms for Nitrate Sensors, Mercury Aptasensors, Protein Sensors, and p-Type Organic Thin-Film Transistors

“…Nano-/microfabrication [e.g., integrated circuit (IC) processing and biosensor and micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) fabrication] with specific noble metals is common and popular in the market . Among the numerous choices, silver- and gold-based electronics continually draw our attention. − However, many of the developed electronic devices have been fabricated by costly, troublesome, time-consuming, and environmentally unfriendly photolithography processes.…”

Characteristics of nanosilver ink (UTDAg) microdroplets and lines on polyimide during inkjet printing at high stage velocity

“…Henrik et al 8 evaluated two types of surface treatments to increase the quality of inkjet printed uniform nanosilver lines on polyimide and polyethene substrates. Chia et al 9 used a drop on demand printer to deposit lines of nanosilver ink on polyimide substrates with a drop spacing from 20 mm to 40 mm.…”
