Flexographic printing of ultra-thin semiconductor polymer layers

Ultrathin high-resolution flexographic printing using nanoporous stamps

Since its invention in ancient times, relief printing, commonly called flexography, has been used to mass-produce artifacts ranging from decorative graphics to printed media. Now, higher-resolution flexography is essential to manufacturing low-cost, large-area printed electronics. However, because of contact-mediated liquid instabilities and spreading, the resolution of flexographic printing us...

3d Printing for Prototypes of Thin-film Pzt/polymer Microstructures

This work explores the viability of using 3D printing as a rapid-prototyping technique for microrobotic appendages made from thin-film PZT/polymer materials. First, the possibility of integrating piezoelectric materials into millimeter-scale (meso-scale) polymer melt-printed structures was investigated. Next, one specific robot limb geometry was chosen as a basis to compare structural modeling ...

The reflectivity of relativistic ultra-thin electron layers

The coherent reflectivity of a dense, relativistic, ultra-thin electron layer is derived analytically for an obliquely incident probe beam. Results are obtained by two-fold Lorentz transformation. For the analytical treatment, a plane uniform electron layer is considered. All electrons move with uniform velocity under an angle to the normal direction of the plane; such electron motion correspon...
