Decoupled Temperature and Moisture Sensor Made of CNT-Based Nanomaterials on Flexible Plastic Substrates

Diao L., Lamb J., Gibbons S., Shih W-S, Giedd R., Brewer Science, US

The moisture sensor is based on resistance change in the IDE structure. For the prototyped humidity sensors, a resistance change of more than 20% was observed while monitoring a moisture increase of 15% at room [...]

Fabrication and characterization of CNT inductors on flexible plastic substrates

Diao L., Shih W-S, Lamb J., Brewer Science, US

A scalable and compact inductor is one of the critical components for passive radio (RF) frequency devices and sensors. CNT thin films have high yield strength and flexibility at high temperature. RF sensors made of [...]

Advancements in Ink-Jet Deposition of Carbon Nanotube Materials for Printed Electronics

Turner S., Brewer Science, US

Advancements in the separation, purification, and post processing of metallic carbon nanotubes are enabling these materials to be used in new printed electronic devices. While CNTs have been researched for over 10 years, recent innovations [...]

Novel Chemistry and Dispersive Techniques for Diverse Applications

Hladik M., Brewer Science, US

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) do not disperse very easily in organic media or at low viscosities. Thus, to produce a nanomaterial coating that can be applied by various methods, such as screen printing or ink-jet printing, [...]
