Abstract:

The rapid emergence of the Internet of Things era has led to increased research activities in the area of printed and flexible electronics. The activities range from ink development and characterization, printing tool and process development to obtain desirable characteristics of printed conductors, semiconductors, dielectrics and others, and demonstration of various printed devices on a wide variety of flexible substrates including paper, plastics and textiles. This talk will provide an overview of the above topics and applications including printed antennas, EMI shields, gas sensors, supercapacitors, photodetectors and others. Advances in printer development such as plasma jet printing, as an alternative to inkjet and aerosol jet printing, will also be discussed. The author thanks Ram Gandhiraman, Pranay Doshi, Daniel Gutierrez, Hiu-Yung Wong, Jin-Woo Han, Myeonglok Seol, Beomseok Kim, Subhankar Debnath and P.K. Giri for their contributions.
