Development And Integration Of Stretchable Electronic Components Into Light-Emitting Devices, Yiting Chen May 2018

Development And Integration Of Stretchable Electronic Components Into Light-Emitting Devices, Yiting Chen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A problem with the planning solutions for the additive manufacturing material extrusion process is a lack of optimization strategies to improve upon the standard raster and contour toolpaths. After experimental testing, it was recognized that a component’s strength relationship with respect to the volume of material usage is inconsistent and that failures occurred in regions of voids. From previous studies, it was found that a build orientation in the material extrusion process influences the support material requirements, processing time, surface finish, voids volume, etc. This dissertation aims to identify, minimize, and manage void regions during the toolpath generation, and studies …

Flexible and stretchable electronics are the new format of electronics that remain functional with mechanical bending, twisting, and stretching. These new kinds of devices are expected to open up new opportunities and uses by reforming the way we interact with electronics and fundamentally change our life. To reach these goals, we must move beyond conventional hard, inorganic materials such as glass and silicon and find ways to incorporate electrical function into soft materials that are flexible or even stretchable. This thesis focuses on the development of compliant electronic components including transparent conductive electrodes, light-emitting materials, and metallic electrodes, and their …
