ABSTRACTDeposition of solution-processed functional materials generally requires additional post-processing to optimize the functionality of the material. We study sintering of Ag nanoparticle (NP) (with average diameter 77nm) deposits for improved electrical conductivity, with emphasis on Argon plasma methods compatible with the low temperature requirements of regular low-cost flexible polymer substrates. The relationship between plasma parameters (such as power and treatment time) versus sintering results (sintered structure depth, film continuity and electrical sheet resistance) will be reported. According to our efforts so far, we have achieved the electrical resistivity of the sintered film at about 20 times greater than the value of bulk silver using a process compatible with the low temperature requirements of common flexible polymer substrates.

Abstract Recently, the three-dimensional (3D) printing technique has attracted much attention for creating objects of arbitrary shape and manufacturing. For the first time, in this work, we present the fabrication of an inkjet printed low-cost 3D temperature sensor on a 3D-shaped thermoplastic substrate suitable for packaging, flexible electronics, and other printed applications. The design, fabrication, and testing of a 3D printed temperature sensor are presented. The sensor pattern is designed using a computer-aided design program and fabricated by drop-on-demand inkjet printing using a magnetostrictive inkjet printhead at room temperature. The sensor pattern is printed using commercially available conductive silver nanoparticle ink. A moving speed of 90 mm/min is chosen to print the sensor pattern. The inkjet printed temperature sensor is demonstrated, and it is characterized by good electrical properties, exhibiting good sensitivity and linearity. The results indicate that 3D inkjet printing technology may have great potential for applications in sensor fabrication.

Strain sensors based on the resistive principle have been developed and produced by inkjet printing. Depending on the surface conditions of the substrates and the properties of the silver inks, with adequate densification of the printed nanoparticle containing structures, gauge factors of around 2.6, dimensions of 6.7 mm × 6.4 mm and grid line widths of around 90 μm, have been achieved with silver inks. Performance tests including up to 120 mechanical deformation cycles have been successfully carried out.
