Curvilinear soft electronics by micromolding of metal nanowires in capillaries
Science Advances · 2022-11-16 · 51 citations
articleOpen accessSoft electronics using metal nanowires have attracted notable attention attributed to their high electrical conductivity and mechanical flexibility. However, high-resolution complex patterning of metal nanowires on curvilinear substrates remains a challenge. Here, a micromolding-based method is reported for scalable printing of metal nanowires, which enables complex and highly conductive patterns on soft curvilinear and uneven substrates with high resolution and uniformity. Printing resolution o…

Senior authorCorrespondingAbstract Multi‐layer electrical interconnects are critical for the development of integrated soft wearable electronic systems, in which functional devices from different layers need to be connected together by vertical interconnects. In this work, electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing technology is studied to achieve multi‐layer flexible and stretchable electronics by direct printing vertical interconnects as vertical interconnect accesses (VIAs) using a low‐melting‐point metal alloy. The EHD print…

Stretchable electronics based on nanomaterials has received much interest recently. However, it is challenging to print 1D nanomaterials (e.g., nanowires) with high resolution on stretchable elastomeric substrates. Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing has been used to print 1D nanomaterials such as silver nanowires (AgNWs) on stretchable substrates, but the resolution and electric conductivity of the printed patterns are typically low because of the poor wettability of the ink on the surface of th…
Programmable soft electrothermal actuators based on free-form printing of the embedded heater
Soft Matter · 2021 · 32 citations
Senior authorCorrespondingIn recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the research in soft actuators that exhibit complex programmable deformations. Soft electrothermal actuators use electricity as the stimulus to generate heat, and the mismatch between the thermal expansions of the two structural layers causes the actuator to bend. Complex programmable deformations of soft electrothermal actuators are difficult due to the limitations of the conventional fabrication methods. In this article, we report a new…

articleOpen accessAbstract Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) jet printing represents a novel micro/nano-scale additive manufacturing process that utilises a high-voltage induced electric field between the nozzle and the substrate to print micro/nanoscale structures. EHD printing is particularly advantageous for the fabrication on flexible or non-flat substrates and of large aspect ratio micro/nanostructures and composite multi-material structures. Despite this, EHD printing has yet to be fully industrialised due to its l…
