| Abstract Scope |
Materials jetting platforms such as inkjet printing (IJP), aerosol jet printing (AJP), plasma jet printing (PJP), and electrohydrodynamic jet printing (EJP) are promising techniques for direct deposition of functional 2-dimensional and layered nanomaterials. Such printers have significant advantages over standard microfabrication techniques, including low cost, noncontact printing, rapid prototyping, and compatibility with roll-to-roll production of electronic devices and sensors on flexible substrates. However, formulating stable inks which can meet the various rheological requirements of these various platforms can be quite challenging. This talk provides an overview of recent developments in 2D and layered nanomaterial ink for different materials jetting platforms including graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, thermoelectrics, and MXene based inks for a variety of additive electronics manufacturing applications. Such multifunctional material inks highlight a new dimension for research on next-generation printing of electronic devices such as low-cost sensors, energy conversion and storage devices, and microscale electronics. |
