“…However, its conductivity is not high enough to operate large‐area touch screen with fast response. Several new materials, which are metal nanowires, new transparent conductive oxides, carbon nanotubes, and graphenes, are proposed for next generation PCAP touch screen . Even though, most of the projected capacitive touch screens use ITO electrode because the new materials are difficult for stable production.…”

Tribo-Mechanical Investigation of the Functional Components used in Flexible Energy Harvesting Devices

During the previous decade, the development of energy harvesting devices based on piezoelectric materials has garnered great interest. The ability to capture ambient mechanical energy and convert it to useable electricity is a potential solution to the ever-growing energy crisis. One of the most attractive functional materials used in these devices is zinc oxide (ZnO). This material's relative low cost and ease of large-area processing has spurred numerous device designs based around it. The ability to grow ZnO nanostructures of various geometries with lowtemperature chemical methods makes this material even more attractive for flexible devices. Although numerous device architectures have been developed, the long-term mechanical reliability has not been addressed. This work focuses on the fabrication and mechanical failure analysis of the flexible components typically used in piezoelectric energy harvesting devices. A three-phase iterative design process was used to fabricate prototypical piezoelectric nanogenerators, based on ZnO nanowires. An output of several millivolts was achieved under normal contact and microtensile loading, but device failure occurred after only a few loading cycles, in all cases. Ex situ failure analysis confirmed the primary sources of failure, which became the focus of further, component-level studies. Failure was primarily seen in the flexible electrodes of the nanogenerating devices, but was also observed in the functional piezoelectric layer itself.

This article introduces different types of transparent antennas to the readers. To begin, the electrical and optical properties of some of the commonly seen transparent dielectrics and transparent conducting thin films are discussed. Focus will be given to their microwave characteristics. Two types of transparent antennas, namely, conductive and nonconductive antennas, are covered in this article. In the first part, transparent antennas that are made of conducting thin film and meshed conductor are presented. The conductive thin‐film antenna usually has low antenna radiation efficiency because its film thickness, which is usually less than skin depth, causes the electron conductivity to reduce. Meshed antenna also experiences efficiency deterioration due to metal removal. The design issues and compromises for both types of conductive transparent antennas are discussed. In the second part, the transparent dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is explored. Regardless of its shape and thickness, the transparent DRA can have good radiation efficiency and optical transparency at the same time. Additional advantages such as using the antenna as a decorative art piece or as a multifunctional component are also possible with the transparent DRA. The optical and antenna performances will be studied. We have prepared this article in a language comprehensible to both antenna and microwave engineers.
