Inkjet Printing for Printed Electronics

Inkjet printing (IJP) is a highly versatile and useful tool for product development, prototyping, and even small-scale manufacturing in the printed electronics industry. This chapter discusses a number of printed electronic (PE) applications. PE applications make use of inkjet-printed electrically conductive structures. At first sight, IJP might...

Inkjet printed paper based frequency selective surfaces and skin mounted RFID tags: The interrelation between silver nanoparticle ink, paper substrate and low temperature sintering technique

Inkjet printing of functional frequency selective surfaces (FSS) and radio frequency identification (RFID) tags on commercial paper substrates using silver nanoparticle inks sintered using low temperature thermal, plasma and photonic techniques is reported. Printed and sintered FSS devices demonstrate performances which achieve wireless...

Three reasons why investing in Printed Electronics might be worth wile to explore strategically for the Dutch Printing Industry

Advanced LED package with temperature sensors and microfluidic cooling

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are revolutionizing the illumination with energy savings and enhanced functionality. However, around 80% of the input power will be still transferred to heat. As the elevated temperature negatively affects the maximum light output, efficiency, quality, reliability and the lifetime of the SSL systems, thermal...

Voltage-controlled surface wrinkling of elastomeric coatings

Wrinkling of elastomeric coatings by an electric field is reported. The associated changes in the coating's optical properties yield switchable mirrors and windows. The field Ec needed to induce wrinkling is a factor of 4.4 lower than the theoretically predicted value, which is attributed to space-charge injection. Copyright © 2013 WILEY-VCH...

Specifications and design criteria for innovative corrosion monitoring and (downhole) sensor systems, including sensitivity analysis

This report focuses on the corrosion monitoring and corrosion sensor systems, for use in CO2 storage wells, including a sensitivity analysis. The feasibility for using new sensors to measure well integrity based on electrochemical principles is investigated. The use of corrosion sensors in CO2 storage wells is at its infancy. The application of...

Tuning the voltage dependence of the efficiency of blue organic light-emitting diodes based on fluorene-amine copolymers

A study is carried out of the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on blue-emitting fluorene polymers containing hole-transporting units. For that purpose, 10 polymers containing a systematically varied amount of two different (benzidine-based and phenoxazine-based) aromatic amine comonomers are...

Sensitization of p-type NiO using n-type conducting polymers

We report on the sensitization of a p-type inorganic semiconductor, NiO, by n-type conjugated polymers. NiO thin films were deposited using RF sputtering in pure Ar (NiO A) or in Ar + O₂ (90% + 10%) (NiO B). XPS and Kelvin probe measurements indicate the incorporation of oxygen in NiO B leading to the formation of electron-accepting...
