Front-side Metalization By Means Of Flexographic Printing

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...

Direct patterning of gold nanoparticles using flexographic printing for biosensing applications

In this paper, we have presented the use of flexographic printing techniques in the selective patterning of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) onto a substrate. Highly uniform coverage of AuNPs was selectively patterned on the substrate surface, which was subsequently used in the development of a glucose sensor. These AuNPs provide a biocompatible site for the attachment of enzymes and offer high sensi...

Patterned Self-Assembled Monolayers Formed by Microcontact Printing Direct Selective Metalization by Chemical Vapor Deposition on Planar and Nonplanar Substrates

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkylsiloxanes were patterned by microcontact printing @CP) on a number of substrates: A1/A1&, SUSi02, TiN/Ti02, glasses, indium tin oxide (ITO), and plasma-modified polyimide. The patterned SAMs on these surfaces define and direct the selective chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of copper using (hexafluoroacetylacetonato)(vinyltrimethylsilane)copper(I) (CuI(hfa...

Flexographic Printing and Integral Approach to Pollution Prevention and Control Author

The awareness of environmental, economic and sociological problems is rising. The purpose of such an approach is to reconcile industrial development with environmental capacities. This approach to environmental protection dates back to the time when the devastation of environment brought on by human factor, the intensification of production process and a build-up of harmful pollutants first bec...
