“…The main advantage of the LIFT of liquids over other more conventional direct writing techniques, like inkjet printing or even aerosol jet printing, is that LIFT is nozzle‐free, and therefore presents very few restrictions concerning the viscosity of the ink or the size of the particles suspended in it . In fact, viscosities as high as tens and even hundreds of Pa s, well above the upper limit of aerosol jet printing, have been successfully printed through LIFT . Similarly, inks with loading particle size clearly beyond the limits of the aforementioned techniques are also perfectly printable through LIFT .…”

Laser‐induced forward transfer (LIFT) is a digital printing technique that uses a pulsed laser beam as the driving force to project material from a donor thin film toward the receiving substrate whereon that material will be finally deposited as a voxel. This working principle allows LIFT to operate with both solid and liquid donor films, which provides the technique with an unprecedented broad spectrum of printable materials, and thus makes it very competitive over other digital technologies, like inkjet printing. It is not only that LIFT can access a much wider range of ink viscosities and loading particle sizes; the possibility of printing from solid films allows the single‐step printing of multilayers and entire devices, and even makes possible 3D printing. This versatility translates, in turn, into a broad field of applications, from graphics production to printed electronics, from the fabrication of chemical sensors to tissue engineering. This monograph provides an extensive review of the LIFT technique, from its origins to the most recent achievements, focusing on the fundamental aspects of both its working principle and transfer dynamics, as well as on its broad range of applications.

“…It is an electronic science and technology based on traditional printing techniques, combining printing processes and ink chemistry for manufacturing electronic components and devices. Since printing techniques were used for fabricating electronics in the 1950s, different printing processes like screen, inkjet, and laser-induced forward transfer were explored [69][70][71]. The schematic diagram of printing techniques is shown in Figure 1a [69].…”

Featured Application: Thin-film materials with degradability and recyclability for the fabrication of degradable, dissolvable, resorbable, and/or compatible electronic devices, especially transient resistive switching devices for security information storage and neuromorphic computing as well as environmental-friendly applications.Abstract: The environmental pollution generated by electronic waste (e-waste), waste-gas, and wastewater restricts the sustainable development of society. Environmental-friendly electronics made of degradable, resorbable, and compatible thin-film materials were utilized and explored, which was beneficial for e-waste dissolution and sustainable development. In this paper, we present a literature review about the development of various degradable and disposable thin-films for electronic applications. The corresponding preparation methods were simply reviewed and one of the most exciting and promising methods was discussed: Printing electronics technology. After a short introduction, detailed applications in the environment sensors and eco-friendly devices based on these degradable and compatible thin-films were mainly reviewed, finalizing with the main conclusions and promising perspectives. Furthermore, the future on these upcoming environmental-friendly electronic devices are proposed and prospected, especially on resistive switching devices, showing great potential applications in artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Thing (IoT). These resistive switching devices combine the functions of storage and computations, which can complement the off-shelf computing based on the von Neumann architecture and advance the development of the AI.
