MES 716 Printed Electronics: Materials and Processes

Credits: (3-0) 3

The principles of interfacial phenomenon, solution thermodynamics, and colloid chemistry will be used in illuminated process by which metallic nanoparticulates can be formed and incorporated into inks for use in manufacturing printed electronics by various direct write technologies. Students will learn 1) the methods and science behind the manufacture of a variety of nanoparticles, including gold, silver, and copper conducting particles, 2) the methods of incorporating these particles into inks and the printing of these inks for printed electronic applications, and 3) the interfacial processes involved in line spreading and curing of the printed traces.
