Printable technologies for high security documents and consumer products

用于高安全性文档和消费品的可打印技术。该项目旨在开发两种下一代可打印安全特征技术，以保护用户免受伪造行为的侵害，伪造行为给世界经济造成数十亿美元的收入损失，并损害公民的安全。首先，它旨在通过开发可打印的有源器件贴片来增强钞票的安全性，该贴片具有能量收集柔性聚合物作为电源和薄膜石墨烯/聚合物纳米材料作为电极/储能介质。其次，它旨在设计隐形碳纳米管油墨，通过近红外激活进行光学认证。这两种技术都有望阻止复杂的伪造，特别是那些有组织犯罪支持的伪造。

Printable technologies for high security documents and consumer products. This project aims to develop two next-generation printable security feature technologies to protect users from counterfeiting, which costs the world economy billions in lost revenue and undermines the security of citizens. First, it aims to enhance the security of banknotes by developing printable active device patches with energy harvesting flexible polymers as a power source and thin film graphene/polymer nanomaterial as an electrode/energy storage media. Second, it aims to design invisible carbon nanotube inks for optical authentication via near infrared activation. Both technologies are expected to thwart sophisticated counterfeits, particularly those supported by organised crime.
