Metallic nanoparticle inks are readily obtainable from the commercial market and are commonly used for fabricating conductive tracks and patterns due to their relatively higher electrical conductivity as compared to other types of inks. These metallic nanoparticle inks are made up of electrically conductive metallic nanoparticles suspended in liquid mediums, with particle size ranging from 1 to 100 nm. However, there are also diverse types of metallic nanoparticle inks in the market (for instance, silver nanoparticle inks, gold nanoparticle inks, and copper nanoparticle inks). Metallic nanoparticle inks of different material compositions can directly influence the final electrical, material, and mechanical properties of the printed patterns. This paper presents an overview of the different types of metallic nanoparticle inks used for the 3D printing of electronics. The strengths and weaknesses of each type of ink are critically reviewed. The challenges and potentials of metallic nanoparticle inks in 3D printed electronics are also discussed. Metallic Nanoparticle InksMetallic nanoparticle inks are suspensions of metallic nanoparticles in liquid mediums (see Figure 2a), in which individual metallic nanoparticle is encapsulated in a layer of insulating organic additives and stabilizing agents (see Figure 2b). The encapsulating organic additives and stabilizing agents help prevent the metallic nanoparticles from agglomeration, but at the same time, also impede the flow of electrons from particles to particles. Therefore, sintering processes are required to remove The three-dimensional (3D) printed electronics additive manufacturing industry sector has grown substantially in the past few years, and there is increasing demand for different types of metallic nanoparticle inks in electronics printing for various applications. Metallic nanoparticle inks are commonly used for fabricating conductive tracks and patterns due to their relatively high electrical conductivity as compared to other types of inks, and they can be further categorized into single-element metallic nanoparticle inks, alloy metallic nanoparticle inks, metallic oxide nanoparticle inks, and core-shell bimetallic nanoparticle (BNP) inks. It is critical to gain a deep understanding of the metallic nanoparticle inks used in 3D printed electronics as the material properties of these inks can directly affect the final electrical and mechanical properties of the printed patterns. This review presents an overview of the available metallic nanoparticle inks used for 3D printing of electronics, and critically reviews the strengths and weaknesses of each type of ink. Finally, the challenges of metallic nanoparticle inks in 3D printed electronics are also discussed along with the future outlook for 3D printed electronics.

“…A typical laser-assisted bioprinting system consists of a pulsed laser beam with a focusing device, a donor slide and a collector slide facing the ribbon. Another special example of MJ is aerosol jet printing where a laser is used to sinter printed circuits at a low ambient temperature (Agarwala et al 2019).…”

A Stretchable Capacitive Strain Sensor Having Adjustable Elastic Modulus Capability for Wide‐Range Force Detection

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Stretchable strain sensors are important components of soft robotics, rehabilitation assistance, and human health monitoring systems. However, strain sensors capable of wide‐range force detection with adjustable modulus facilities are highly desirable to obtain mechanical feedback in various scenarios. Herein, a stretchable capacitive strain sensor capable of adjustable modulus and wide‐range force detection is reported. The sensor consists of two liquid metals (LMs) filled thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) tubes encapsulated in flexible silicone. The adjustable modulus capability of the sensor is attained by mounting the sensor with springs of different elastic coefficients. During electromechanical tests, the elastic coefficient‐dependent adjustable modulus is obtained in the range of 0.78–10.3 MPa. After optimizing the performance, a sensor capable of wide force‐sensing range (0.07–74 N), high cyclic stability (>3500 cycles), with low hysteresis, good linearity, and fast response time (<50 ms) is achieved. Finally, a digital display system is developed to display the amount of detected force during the loading of the sensor, which confirms the great capability of the sensor to be applied in joint rehabilitation and soft robotic fields.
