“…In scientific research, commercially available, low-cost desktop office inkjet printers are frequently adapted for the deposition of functional materials. [89][90][91] Although this usually enables fast and cheap prototyping, high resolution printing can hardly be realized, and the lack of inkjet metrology tools makes it difficult to characterize and tune inkjet parameters. Specifically, the stability of the jetting process cannot be monitored and controlled, due to the absence of a drop-view camera.…”

Requirements for the miniaturization of electronics are constantly increasing as more and more functions are aimed to be integrated into a single device. At the same time, there are strong demands for low-cost manufacturing, environmental compatibility, rapid prototyping, and small-scale productions due to fierce competition, policies, rapid technical progress, and short innovation times. Altogether, those challenges cannot be sufficiently addressed by simply using either printed or silicon electronics. Instead, the synergies from combining those two technologies into so-called hybrid electronics create novel opportunities for advanced capabilities and new areas of applications. In the first part of this review, printing and patterning technologies are presented with potential compatibility with conventional electronics manufacturing techniques. They can be utilized for the fabrication of highly complex structures. Nonetheless, up-scalability, integration, and adaptation for industrial fabrication remain challenging due to technically limiting factors. Consequently, a special focus is placed on the up-scalability, availability of commercial printing, and manufacturing machines, as well as processing challenges for high-volume industrial applications. The second part of this review further provides an overview of exciting and innovative application possibilities of printed electronics, emphasizing sensor applications, as well as additively manufactured integrated circuits.

“…100 Figure 7b shows a CNT layer printed on a Kapton ® film which was impacted with a high velocity projectile and the active signal generated from this impact. 100 The initial resistance spike followed by damping oscillations are attributed to instantaneous strain in the film followed by the shockwave after impact. Direct print additive manufacturing using CNT ink has also been used to construct an ultra-high frequency RFID-based passive wireless sensor for micrometeoroid and orbital debris impact detection.…”

Pushing the boundaries of space exploration and settlement requires innovative materials that are multi‐functional, reusable, and tolerant of the extreme hazards in space environments. Polymers represent an interesting class of materials for these applications due to their range of properties, low density, and ease of manufacturing. Electrically conductive materials based on polymers and other organic materials can be beneficial for safety purposes or for integrating advanced functions, such as dust mitigation and non‐destructive evaluation. Given the unique demands of the space industry, emerging materials developed for space may not appear in conventional forums. Conversely, many investigators focus on polymers and composites for other applications and may not realize the suitability of their material for space. This review provides an informational bridge between experts from conventional polymer fields and more space‐focused research groups. First, a brief history of polymer material integration from Apollo to Artemis is used as a context for their increasing importance to space exploration. Next, a polymer and composite materials‐focused summary of space hazards is discussed for different space environments. Finally, different space applications suitable for electrically conductive polymers and composites are discussed in the context of enabling space exploration and developing new terrestrial technology.

“…Printable inks are based upon a careful selection of the ink components, including the functional material and (a combination of) solvents and stabilizers [ 13 ]. Metal nanoparticles [ 14 , 15 , 16 ], conductive polymers [ 17 , 18 ], and carbon nanomaterials [ 19 , 20 , 21 ] are the most used functional components in electrically conductive inks. When formulating inks, rheological properties must be carefully tailored to ensure proper jetting.…”

Conductive Inks Based on Melamine Intercalated Graphene Nanosheets for Inkjet Printed Flexible Electronics

With the growing number of flexible electronics applications, environmentally benign ways of mass-producing graphene electronics are sought. In this study, we present a scalable mechanochemical route for the exfoliation of graphite in a planetary ball mill with melamine to form melamine-intercalated graphene nanosheets (M-GNS). M-GNS morphology was evaluated, revealing small particles, down to 14 nm in diameter and 0.4 nm thick. The M-GNS were used as a functional material in the formulation of an inkjet-printable conductive ink, based on green solvents: water, ethanol, and ethylene glycol. The ink satisfied restrictions regarding stability and nanoparticle size; in addition, it was successfully inkjet printed on plastic sheets. Thermal and photonic post-print processing were evaluated as a means of reducing the electrical resistance of the printed features. Minimal sheet resistance values (5 kΩ/sq for 10 printed layers and 626 Ω/sq for 20 printed layers) were obtained on polyimide sheets, after thermal annealing for 1 h at 400 °C and a subsequent single intense pulsed light flash. Lastly, a proof-of-concept simple flexible printed circuit consisting of a battery-powered LED was realized. The demonstrated approach presents an environmentally friendly alternative to mass-producing graphene-based printed flexible electronics.
