A silver nanowire (AgNW) based conductor is a promising component for flexible and stretchable electronics. A wide range of flexible/stretchable devices using AgNW conductors has been demonstrated recently. High-resolution, high-throughput printing of AgNWs remains a critical challenge. Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing has been developed as a promising technique to print different materials on a variety of substrates with high resolution. Here, AgNW ink was developed for EHD printing. The printed features can be controlled by several parameters including AgNW concentration, ink viscosity, printing speed, stand-off distance, etc. With this method, AgNW patterns can be printed on a range of substrates, e.g. paper, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), glass, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), etc. First, AgNW samples on PDMS were characterized under bending and stretching. Then AgNW heaters and electrocardiogram (ECG) electrodes were fabricated to demonstrate the potential of this printing technique for AgNW-based flexible and stretchable devices.
基于银纳米线(AgNW)的导体是一种很有前途的柔性和可拉伸电子产品组件。最近已经展示了许多使用 AgNW 导体的柔性/可拉伸设备。高分辨率、高通量的 AgNW 印刷仍然是一个关键的挑战。静电纺丝(EHD)印刷已被开发为一种很有前途的技术,可以在各种基板上以高分辨率打印各种材料。在这里,开发了用于 EHD 打印的 AgNW 油墨。印刷的特征可以通过包括 AgNW 浓度、油墨粘度、打印速度、气隙距离等几个参数来控制。通过这种方法,可以在一系列基板上打印 AgNW 图案,例如纸、聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)、玻璃、聚二甲基硅氧烷(PDMS)等。首先,在弯曲和拉伸下对 PDMS 上的 AgNW 样品进行了表征。然后制造了 AgNW 加热器和心电图(ECG)电极,以展示这种印刷技术在基于 AgNW 的柔性和可拉伸器件中的潜力。
