AbstractDevelopments originally targeted toward economical manufacturing of telecommunications products have planted the seeds for new opportunities such as low-cost, large-area electronics based on printing technologies. Organic-based materials systems for printed wiring board (PWB) construction have opened up unique opportunities for materials research in the fabrication of modular electronic systems.The realization of successful consumer products has been driven by materials developments that expand PWB functionality through embedded passive components, novel MEMS structures (e.g., meso-MEMS, in which the PWB-based structures are at the milliscale instead of the microscale), and microfluidics within the PWB. Furthermore, materials research is opening up a new world of printed electronics technology, where active devices are being realized through the convergence of printing technologies and microelectronics.

AbstractOpen circuit faults in electronic systems are a common failure mechanism, particularly in large area electronic systems such as display and image sensor arrays, flexible electronics and wearable electronics. To address this problem several methods to self heal open faults in real time have been investigated. One approach of interest to this work is the electric field assisted self-healing (eFASH) of open faults. eFASH uses a low concentration dispersion of conductive particles in an insulating fluid that is packaged over the interconnect. The electric field appearing in the open fault in a current carrying interconnect polarizes the conductive particles and chains them up to create a heal. This work studies the impact of dispersion concentration on the heal time, heal impedance and cross-talk when eFASH is used for self-healing. Theoretical predictions are supported by experimental evidence and an optimum dispersion concentration for effective self-healing is identified.

Organic electronic systems offer the advantage of low weight and flexibility at potentially lower cost. Although the fabrication of functioning plastic transistors using approaches such as ink jet, lithography and stamping has been described i1–3, chemically compatible materials that allow for the sequential application of liquid layers is a technical barrier. Material issues maybe the Achilles heel of ultimately printing organic electronic devices as newspapers today, at high speeds and in a reel to reel process. We introduce a novel process–thermal transfer–a non-lithographic technique that enables printing multiple, successive layers via a dry additive process. This method is capable of patterning a range of organic materials at high speed over large areas with micron size resolution and excellent electrical performance. Such a dry, potentially reel-to-reel printing method may provide a practical route to realizing the expected benefits of plastics for electronics. We illustrate the viability of thermal transfer and the ability to develop suitable printable organics conductors by fabricating a functioning 4000 cm2 transistor array.

Bi-stable composite laminates have potential in application on conformal, morphing and deployable structures due to their bi-stable, load-bearing, deformable and conformal characteristics. To expand their applications in multifunctional structures, other functional components (such as flexible sensors networks, flexible antennas and other large-area flexible electronic systems) are required to integrate into the bi-stable composite laminates. Polyimide (PI) film usually serves as the substrate of flexible electronics due to its excellent mechanical, thermal and chemical properties. In this study, the cured shapes and snap-through loads of the bi-stable polyimide film hybrid composite laminates are numerically and experimentally studied. The lay-ups of the bi-stable polyimide film hybrid composite laminate are [PI/02/902], [02/PI/902], [02/902/PI], [PI/02/902/PI], [PI/02/PI/902/PI], respectively. The results from the finite element analysis are compared with the experimental ones and show good agreements.
