Research Using V-One PCB Printer Published in Nature
Researchers from Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Italy recently published a study in Nature where they utilized Voltera V-One PCB printer to print interdigital electrodes on a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate, forming part of a three-layer piezoresistive sensor.
The research problem
This study aimed to formulate an eco-friendly conducting ink that maintains high electrical performance while being biodegradable. The ink formulation involves using biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA) as a matrix combined with conductive carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and silver flakes, to create a conducting ink suitable for flexible electronic devices.
The role of V-One
The V-One was used to create eight-finger interdigitated electrodes on a PDMS substrate. V-One’s ability to handle conductive inks and produce intricate electrode patterns was vital in demonstrating the practical application and effectiveness of the newly developed biodegradable ink in flexible pressure sensors.
