  • Technologies for Printing Sensors and Electronics Over Large Flexible Substrates: a Review Saleem Khan, Leandro Lorenzelli, Member, IEEE, and Ravinder S
    3164 IEEE SENSORS JOURNAL, VOL. 15, NO. 6, JUNE 2015 Technologies for Printing Sensors and Electronics Over Large Flexible Substrates: A Review Saleem Khan, Leandro Lorenzelli, Member, IEEE, and Ravinder S. Dahiya, Senior Member, IEEE Abstract— Printing sensors and electronics over flexible substrates are an area of significant interest due to low-cost fab- rication and possibility of obtaining multifunctional electronics over large areas. Over the years, a number of printing technolo- gies have been developed to pattern a wide range of electronic materials on diverse substrates. As further expansion of printed technologies is expected in future for sensors and electronics, it is opportune to review the common features, the complementarities, and the challenges associated with various printing technologies. This paper presents a comprehensive review of various printing technologies, commonly used substrates and electronic materials. Various solution/dry printing and contact/noncontact printing technologies have been assessed on the basis of technological, materials, and process-related developments in the field. Fig. 1. The classification of common printing technologies. Critical challenges in various printing techniques and potential research directions have been highlighted. Possibilities of merging various printing methodologies have been explored to extend are difficult to realize with the conventional wafer-based the lab developed standalone systems to high-speed roll-to-roll fabrication techniques.

The pressure sensing is achieved by incorporating a quantum tunnelling composite material composed of graphite nanoparticles in a rubber matrix into the multilayer nanostructure of a printed organic thin film transistor. This printed device was able to convert shock wave inputs rapidly and reproducibly into an inherently amplified electronic output signal. Variation of the organic ink material, solvents, and printing speeds were shown to modulate the multilayer nanostructure of the organic semiconducting and dielectric layers, enabling tuneable optimisation of the transistor response. The optimised printed device exhibits Citation: Griffith, M.J.; Cooling, rapid switching from a non-conductive to a conductive state upon application of low pressures whilst N.A.; Elkington, D.C.; Wasson, M.; operating at very low source-drain voltages (0–5 V), a feature that is often required in applications Zhou, X.; Belcher, W.J.; Dastoor, P.C.

  • Development of Flexible and Functional Sequins Using Subtractive Technology and 3D Printing for Embroidered Wearable Textile Applications
    materials Article Development of Flexible and Functional Sequins Using Subtractive Technology and 3D Printing for Embroidered Wearable Textile Applications Ramona Nolden * , Kerstin Zöll and Anne Schwarz-Pfeiffer Research Institute for Textile and Clothing, Hochschule Niederrhein-University of Applied Sciences, Webschulstraße 31, 41065 Mönchengladbach, Germany; [email protected] (K.Z.); [email protected] (A.S.-P.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Embroidery is often the preferred technology when rigid circuit boards need to be con- nected to sensors and electrodes by data transmission lines and integrated into textiles. Moreover, conventional circuit boards, like Lilypad Arduino, commonly lack softness and flexibility. One approach to overcome this drawback can be flexible sequins as a substrate carrier for circuit boards. In this paper, such an approach of the development of flexible and functional sequins and circuit boards for wearable textile applications using subtractive and additive technology is demonstrated. Applying these techniques, one-sided sequins and circuit boards are produced using wax printing and etching copper-clad foils, as well as using dual 3D printing of conventional isolating and electri- cally conductive materials. The resulting flexible and functional sequins are equipped with surface mounted devices, applied to textiles by an automated embroidery process and contacted with a Citation: Nolden, R.; Zöll, K.; conductive embroidery thread.

A test was conducted of graphic communication seniors graduating in May 2010 to determine their fundamental knowledge of printed electronics. Data obtained from the industry survey was used to determine the relevant components of a basic printed electronics education. The data obtained from the graduating senior examination determined their areas of knowledge of printed electronics. The needs identified from the industry survey were compared to the areas of knowledge of graphic communications graduating seniors.
