Direct printing of functional electronic materials may provide a new route to low-cost fabrication of integrated circuits. However, to be useful it must allow continuous manufacturing of all circuit components by successive solution deposition and printing steps in the same environment. We demonstrate direct inkjet printing of complete transistor circuits, including via-hole interconnections ba...

Over the past few decades, there has been an increasing interest in the fabrication of complex high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) architectures at micro/nanoscale. These architectures can be obtained through conventional microfabrication methods including photolithography, electron-beam lithography, femtosecond laser lithography, nanoimprint lithography, etc. However, the applications of th...

A combination of surface energy-guided blade coating and inkjet printing is used to fabricate an all-printed high performance, high yield, and low variability organic thin film transistor (OTFT) array on a plastic substrate. Functional inks and printing processes were optimized to yield self-assembled homogenous thin films in every layer of the OTFT stack. Specifically, we investigated the effe...

Direct fabrication of microelectrodes on a polymer substrate using selective ultrashort pulsed laser ablation of inkjet-printed Ag lines" (2012). An inkjet-based ultrashort pulsed laser patterning on a polymer substrate is presented with high-laser scanning speeds. The effects of the laser processing parameters on the ablation characteristics were studied to accomplish damage-free laser ablatio...

to determine the effects of pre-germinating of tubers and plant density on yield and some agronomic traits of six commercial potato cultivars, an experiment was carried out in ardebil agricultural research station for two years (2001 and 2002). the experiment was in a split split splot on the basis of completely randomized block design with three replications. pre-germination and non pre-germin...

1. ABSTRACT The primary goal of this Senior Design project is to examine a low energy, non-thermal fuser that is capable of fusing toner to paper without the use of heat. This fuser will use pressure only and be able to be retrofitted to existing printers to be used in locations where power supply is limited. Two fuser assemblies will be constructed for evaluation. The first design will be a fo...

Introduction and Summary Over the past year, ISEN funding has been utilized to make significant research progress towards the fabrication of a fully 3D-printed iron/solid oxide fuel cell (Metallic/multi-ceramic) batterygenerator system (Figure 1). Monies have gone towards the partial funding of one grad student/postdoc, Adam Jakus, in Ramille Shah’s Tissue Engineering and Additive Manufacturing...

Nickel and iron based alloys are widely used as raw materials in 3D printing or additive manufacturing process. In direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) process, a primary 3D printing technique for metals, metallic powders are sintered to a desired shape by heat energy from a laser beam. This study presents a molecular dynamics study to simulate the sintering process and resultant mechanical prop...
