Nanomaterials for Printed Electronics and Bioelectronics

Dear Colleagues,

Printed electronics and bioelectronics have demanded stringent electronic and mechanical properties in order to maintain their novel properties and functionalities under tensile stress and exposure to aqueous media. In particular, the electronic ink design needs to consider the preservation of said properties upon printing processes such as ink transfer and drying. Given these design principles, this Special Issue aims to explore the formulation of nanomaterial-based electronic ink to address the aforementioned challenges. The fabrication of electronic and bioelectronic devices with electronic inks and their applications will be introduced in practical contexts such as rheological considerations of nanomaterials as active pigments and correlating ink transfer, drying, pattern topologies, and pattern-edge waviness while maintaining electronic and mechanical characteristics of the printed devices.

Topics of interest:

• Nanomaterial-based electronic ink for printing electronic and bioelectronic devices;
• Printing process (ink transfer, drying, web handling, overlay printing registration accuracy) by utilizing nanomaterial-based inks;
• Two-dimensional nanomaterial for printing electronic and bioelectric devices;
• Nanomaterial-based chip design methodology;
• Nanomaterial integration for hybrid devices;

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
