Low‐Cost Manufacturing of Bioresorbable Conductors by Evaporation–Condensation‐Mediated Laser Printing and Sintering of Zn Nanoparticles
Source abstract
Abstract
Currently, bioresorbable electronic devices are predominantly fabricated by complex and expensive vacuum‐based integrated circuit (IC) processes. Here, a low‐cost manufacturing approach for bioresorbable conductors on bioresorbable polymer substrates by evaporation–condensation‐mediated laser printing and sintering of Zn nanoparticle is reported. Laser sintering of Zn nanoparticles has been technically difficult due to the surface oxide on nanoparticles. To circumvent the surface oxide, a novel approach is discovered to print and sinter Zn nanoparticle facilitated by evaporation–condensation in confined domains. The printing process can be performed on low‐temperature substrates in ambient environment allowing easy integration on a roll‐to‐roll platform for economical manufacturing of bioresorbable electronics. The fabricated Zn conductors show excellent electrical conductivity (≈1.124 × 106 S m−1), mechanical durability, and water dissolvability. Successful demonstration of strain gauges confirms the potential application in various environmentally friendly sensors and circuits.
