Researchers Develop Fast Method for Flexible Electronics That Could Stretch
Scientists have created a simpler, faster way to manufacture stretchable circuit boards using silver nanowires and wax filtration. The breakthrough could accelerate commercial production of flexible displays and wearable electronics by reducing manufacturing time and material waste.
Originaltitel: Fast and Efficient Fabrication of Intrinsically Stretchable Multilayer Circuit Boards by Wax Pattern Assisted Filtration
<p>Intrinsically stretchable multilayer circuit boards are fabricated with a fast and material efficient method based on filtration. Silver nanowire conductor patterns of outstanding performance are defined by filtration through wax printed membranes and the circuit board is assembled by subsequent transfers of the nanowires onto the elastomer substrate. The method is used to fabricate a bright stretchable light emitting diode matrix display.</p>
