“…The influence of the plasma treatment conditions on the surface modifications of PDMS and their stability have been studied extensively [6,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. It has been demonstrated that the extent of ageing or hydrophobic recovery depended on the experimental parameters of the plasma treatment including its duration [15][16][17][18], power [6,18,19], composition of the gas used for generating the plasma A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 5 [13,14,16,18,20], working pressure [6,17], and extent of crosslinking of PDMS [21][22], among other.…”

“…Whilst the inkjet printing of silver colloidal solutions has been well reported, [20][21][22][23] the deposition of material onto PDMS from solution is a considerable challenge due to its intrinsic hydrophobic nature which can be improved by rendering the surface more hydrophilic through the use of oxygen, argon and air plasma along with UV-ozone. [24][25][26][27] UV-ozone treatment was seen to improve the printing of silver inks onto highly stretched Sylgard-184 PDMS. 26 while air plasma treatments were used to a similar effect in order to create silver patterns on Sylgard-184 coated glass slides.…”

Switchable disposable passive RFID vapour sensors from inkjet printed electronic components integrated with PDMS as a stimulus responsive material

et al. 2017

A route to cheap and disposable sensors for the chemical sensing market, with potential applications including monitoring of food spoilage, is reported herein. The sensor is the result of the direct integration of a stimuli-responsive material, poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), with an electronic component. The printing and sintering of colloidal silver ink solutions onto PDMS was optimized to allow the printing of conductive silver feed loops, which are the active sensing component in antennas for passive (battery-free) Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags. The response of these devices is related to the degree of swelling of the PDMS, which, in turn, has been shown to be correlated to the Hansen solubility parameters and the vapour pressures of the corresponding volatile organic compounds (VOCs). When exposed to solvent vapour the printed feed loop fractures, increasing resistance and ultimately breaking conductivity, leading to a change in the transmitted power and read range of the wireless device. Remarkably upon removal from the vapour, the fractured feed loops reassemble and become conductive again, making them switchable and ''multi-use''. This work paves the way to a fully inkjet printed RFID substrate for vapour detection.

“…Plasmas are largely employed for the modification of surface properties of materials [18,[21][22][23] [ [24][25][26] may interact with the surface of materials. Plasma activation is usually a combination of an etching and a grafting process that is intended to modify or improve surface properties, enhancement of electric field or electron energy in plasmas play an important role [27][28][29][30][31].…”
