The manufacture of high-performance electronic devices with micrometre or even submicrometre dimensions by solution processing and direct printing, requires the ability to control accurately the flow and spread of functional liquid inks on surfaces. This can be achieved with the help of surface-energy patterns causing inks to be repelled and dewetted from pre-defined regions of the substrate. T...

Inkjet-printing is a very promising technology for the development of microwave circuits and components. Inkjetprinting technology of conductive silver nanoparticles on an organic flexible paper substrate is introduced in this study. The paper substrate is characterised using the T-resonator method. A variety of microwave passive and active devices, as well as complete circuits inkjet-printed o...

Inkjet printing technology has been invented and used in the form of continuous jets for typewriting and recording over 50 years. However, this kind of printing technique becomes truly popular within twenty years for the public at homes and offices greatly thanks to the consumer products of desktop inkjet printers developed and marketed in the middle of the 1980s. Those leading manufacturing co...

The controlled deposition of functional layers is the key to converting nanomechanical cantilevers into chemical or biochemical sensors. Here, we introduce inkjet printing as a rapid and general method to coat cantilever arrays efficiently with various sensor layers. Self-assembled monolayers of alkanethiols were deposited on selected Au-coated cantilevers and rendered them sensitive to ion con...

Inkjet printing is a versatile, contactless and accurate material deposition technology. The present work focused on developing innovative strategies for inkjet of Catalyst-Coated Membranes (CCM) by performing Additive Manufacturing (AM) applied to Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC), without resorting intermediate substrates. Three different approaches AM are presented discussed: a...

In this contribution we describe the application of Ink-Jet printing and Stencil Lithography in bionanotechnology. Both techniques are alternative patterning methods that can be used for the fabrication of biocompatible microand nanostructures out of the costly and restricted clean room environment. The applications presented in this contribution are 1) the cell patterning using Au dot arrays d...

Printing technology promises a viable solution for the low-cost, rapid, flexible, and mass fabrication of biosensors. Among vast number printing techniques, screen inkjet have been widely adopted Screen provides ease operation rapid processing; however, it is bound by effects viscous inks, high material waste, requirement masks, to name few. Inkjet printing, on other hand, well suited that take...
