Inkjet deposition of low dimensional materials for flexible healthcare devices

最近已经证明了具有结合的低维材料的新型装置。这些装置的常规制造仍然具有挑战性，特别是柔性和生物相容性基底。喷墨打印可以为制造这些具有多种互补功能的设备提供有前景的解决方案，例如温度和压力传感、受控药物释放等。在我们最近的研究中，我们开发了一种解释喷墨沉积的0 D和2D材料中的电荷传输的模型[Nat.Commun.2004]。Mater. 2，47（2021）; Advanced Functional Materials 31，2007478（2021）]。该项目将开发在柔性基板上沉积功能性低维材料并将其集成到电路中。将聚合物与嵌入式药物结合的潜力也将被探索，具有开发用于温度、压力和药物释放传感的多功能传感电路的潜力。该项目将是该领域的第一个重点项目，并将为集团内的新研究铺平道路。

Novel devices have been recently demonstrated with incorporated low dimensional materials. Conventional fabrication of these devices remains challenging, especially of flexible and biocompatible substrates. Inkjet printing could offer promising solution for manufacturing of these devices with multiple complementary functionalities, such as temperature and pressure sensing, controlled drug release, etc. In our recent studies we developed a model explaining charge transport in inkjet deposited 0D and 2D materials [Nat. Commun. Mater. 2, 47 (2021); Advanced Functional Materials 31, 2007478 (2021)]. This project will develop the deposition of functional low dimensional materials on flexible substrates and their integration into circuits. Potential to incorporate polymers with embedded drugs will be also explored with potential for development of multifunctional sensing circuits for temperature, pressure and drug release sensing. This project will be the first focused project in this area and will pave the way for new strand of research within the group.
