Contact Printing Bendable Electronics

Aug-16-18 A breakthrough in contact printing could open the door to a new generation of flexible electronics.

The new method was developed by a team from the University of Glasgow, who first determined that silicon nanowires aligned together was the most efficient design. The team then experimented until they developed a printing process that offered the ideal combination of velocity and pressure for consistently and repeatedly printing the nanowires.

According to professor Ravinder Dahiya, "This paper marks a really important milestone on the road to a new generation of flexible and printed electronics. In order for future electronic devices to integrate flexibility into their design, industry needs to have access to energy-efficient, high-performance electronics which can be produced affordably and over large surface areas.”
