Aerosol-Jet Printing And Flash Sintering Of Conformal Conductors On Non-Planar Surfaces, I-Meng Chen Jan 2019

Aerosol-Jet Printing And Flash Sintering Of Conformal Conductors On Non-Planar Surfaces, I-Meng Chen

Masters Theses

”The printed electronics have been broadly applied in our daily lives, many new manufacturing methodologies are studied and investigated. The research here presented the full manufacturing process of printed conductors of aerosol printing and flash sintering techniques on substrates such as planar and non-planar surfaces.

The aerosol printing (AJP) was introduced because of its simplicity in experimental setup and flexibility of printing. It produces less ink waste and consumes less manufacturing cost. Furthermore, it has the direct-write ability to print in any customized patterns or shapes on non-planar surfaces. In this study, the Cu NPs was selected as the functioning …
