In this work, a flexible tin oxide (SnO2) gas sensor was successfully fabricated by inkjet printing technology. This thin film deposition technique requires the formulation of stable suspensions with specific fluidic properties. Aqueous Sol-gel method was applied to synthesize a stable sol based on tin oxide, then transformed into ink with the appropriate viscosity and surface tension to be printed using a drop-on-demand piezoelectric inkjet printer. Thermal analyses of synthetized sol show that a crystallized structure of SnO2 could be obtained at 350 °C, which is lower than crystallization temperatures of SnO2 previously reported in the literature, and entirely consistent with our plastic substrate. The printed thin-film was then sintered at 350 °C on polyimide foil (Upilex-50S) and characterized as sensor.

We present a systematic approach for producing microstrip antennas using the state-of-the-art-inkjet printing technique. An initial antenna design based on the conventional square patch geometry is adopted as a benchmark to characterize the entire approach; the procedure then could be generalized to different antenna geometries and feeding techniques. For validation purposes, the antenna is designed and simulated using two different 3D full-wave electromagnetic simulation tools: Ansoft’s High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS), which is based on the Finite Element Method (FEM), and CST Microwave Studio, which is based on the Finite Integration Technique (FIT). The systematic approach for the fabrication process includes the optimal number of printed layers, curing temperature, and curing time. These essential parameters need to be optimized to achieve the highest electrical conductivity, trace continuity, and structural robustness. The antenna is fabricated using Inkjet Printing Technology (IJPT) utilizing Sliver Nanoparticles (SNPs) conductive ink printed by DMP-2800 Dimatix FujiFilm materials printer.
