“…Semiconducting layers are the most important part of organic transistors devices and circuits. Their deposition by inkjet‐printing encounters the same difficulties described for the dielectric inks, as the solvent chosen for the ink preparation must be compatible with the printer's cartridge and must not damage the underlying structures …”

“…These commercial inks are already tuned, in terms of rheological properties, for inkjet‐printing and can be therefore immediately used as received. However, in some cases, their composition was modified, typically by adding a few percentages in volume of polyalcohols such as, for instance, ethylene glycol . Such a modification is essentially used to improve the printed layer electrical conductivity and also to reduce its solubility in water, an essential step for devices where the PEDOT:PSS channel is supposed to be in direct contact with water‐based electrolytic solutions .…”

Inkjet-printing is one of the most important fabrication techniques in the field of printed electronics. Its main advantages include the possibility of fabricating, at ambient conditions and by employing a digital layout, a large variety of electronic devices on different types of substrates, including flexible plastic ones. In this paper, the utilization of inkjet-printing as an important fabrication tool for the realization of organic transistors and circuits/sensing systems based on such type of transistors is reviewed. The most important aspects of the fabrication process, including ink formulation, printing deposition, and postprinting treatment, are described in detail. The most significant examples of inkjet-printed organic transistors of different types (field-effect, electrolytegated, and electrochemical) are presented and finally an overview of their applications as building blocks of more complex electronic circuits and systems for the detection and quantification of specific measurands is provided.

“…Renewable materials are high‐performance materials made from natural resources . It must be biodegradable so that it can degrade using microorganisms, biocompatible with human body, with renewable and sustainable properties . Such renewable materials are successful alternative for the nondegradable ordinary electronic materials that have many hazardous substances like toxic metals, PVC, and brominated flame retardants …”

π‐Plasmon absorbance films of carboxylic functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) coupled with renewable and recycled polycaprolactone grafted pectin (PGP) platforms as successful alternative for ordinary nondegradable platforms were investigated. Characterization of the synthesized carboxylic functionalized CNTs was performed using 1H NMR and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared for structural identification, thermogravimetric analysis and derivative thermogravimetric analysis for thermal stability, and X‐ray powder diffraction for crystal structure, whereas the characterization of prepared PGP was done by means of attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared for chemical structure, differential scanning calorimetry for melting endotherms of polycaprolactone and high crystalline structure of PGP, and thermogravimetric analysis and derivative thermogravimetric analysis for thermal stability of PGP. Fabrication of water‐dispersed carboxylic functionalized CNTs coupled with PGP films was performed by casting technique in the presence of Ca2+ as cross‐linker. The thin films were tested for π‐plasmon absorbance using UV‐Vis spectrometry. Different fractions of carboxylic functionalized CNTs and PGP films demonstrated π‐plasmon absorbance broad peaks at λmax = 232 nm, which corresponded to 5.36 eV. The fabrication of novel films from renewable recycled PGP platform and advanced carboxylic functionalized CNTs properties will be the key features for many of next forthcoming technologies. The PGP considered as environment‐friendly and easily degradable platforms will be a successful alternative for conventional nondegradable electronic platforms, and water‐dispersed carboxylic functionalized CNTs with advanced properties will be finding accelerating executive applications.
