研究目的

Investigating the material factors that affect printability in the context of developing a promising fabrication technique called laser induced forward transfer (LIFT) for rapid and precise patterning of AgNW-based electrodes with high stretchability and transparency toward flexible optoelectronics devices.

研究成果

LIFT is a digital manufacturing technique that can print a wide range of high viscosity inks and even solid-state materials onto unconventional substrates. The study demonstrates that LIFT can be utilized to pattern AgNW-based electrodes under operation in atmospheric conditions at room temperature. The optical and mechanical properties of PET were found to be similar to those of TP, suggesting PET as DRL can contribute to facilitate the fabrication process. The visualization of the printing process highlighted the importance of adjusting the LIFT architecture to achieve desirable droplets. These factors, when tuned appropriately, will contribute to the realization of a rapid and precise fabrication process of flexible and transparent AgNW-based electrode for next-generation optoelectronic devices.

研究不足

The study focuses on the material factors affecting printability and the LIFT process, but does not extensively explore the scalability of the process for industrial applications or the long-term stability of the printed electrodes.
