Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Three new methods for accurate electronic component positioning for thermoformed electronics are presented in this paper. To maintain the mechanical and electrical properties of printed-ink tracks, prevent deformation and stretching during thermoforming, and ensure reproducibility, the component positioning principle for all three proposed methods is based on keeping the temperature of some regions in the thermoplastic substrate less than the glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic carrier, to keep those regions resistant to plastic deformation. We have verified the accuracy of the different approaches by implementing these methods in a semi-sphere mold for positioning seven LEDs and one printed capacitive touch sensor. We compared the result of our fabrication processes with the typical fabrication process of in-mold electronics (direct printing on a thermoplastic foil and followed by a thermoforming step) and noticed that the sample produced by the typical process had tracks that were randomly stretched, tracks were not in a straight path after thermoforming and they were not electrically conductive. Furthermore, the final 3D position of the components was not reproducible sample by sample. However, with our proposed fabrication methods, the tracks and pads do not deform or expand during thermoforming and are electrically conductive after. Moreover, the round shape of the touch sensor remains the same as in the 2D design. Based on the results of the experiments, it appears that the proposed methods are capable of positioning electronic components with high precision in thermoformed electronics.

In the plastic molding industry, plastic parts like pager and handphone cases, plastic containers, etc. are formed in a mold by applying temperature and pressure. The transfer molding is the standard workhorse for the electronics industry. Although the transfer molding is widely used, it is far from being optimized. Mold sticking is a serious practical problem in this industry. A solution to the problem is to apply mold-releasing agents on the mold to act as a lubricant layer between the plastic and the mold. This easily results in stains and degraded surface finish. This paper investigates the effectiveness of solid thin films on reducing the adhesion between polymer and mold steel of different surface roughness. WS2, MoS2, and DLC coatings are deposited on test surfaces via unbalanced magnetron sputtering before polymer blocks are molded on and pulled apart using an Instron Machine. The force required to separate the plastic part and the mold steel is used as an indication of the stickiness. After the separation, the coating surface is also examined under microscope for stains and polymer residues. The coatings are characterized using Raman spectroscopy and contact angle measurements. Generally, the stickiness increases with initial surface roughness for all coatings. Initial test indicates that the DLC coating has the highest contact angle with water (100°) and the best anti-sticking properties among the samples tested, and could reduce the stickiness by 80% as compared to bare steel.

With the capability of net shaping for complex 3D geometry, powder injection molding (PIM) is widely used for automotive parts, electronics and medical industry. In this study, an ultrasonic dental scaler tip produced by machining process was redesigned for the PIM process. An injection mold was designed and machined to produce the dental scaler tip by the PIM process. The mold design was aided by CAE analysis. A PIM feedstock was made of SUS316L powder and a wax based binder. The filling balance in the mold was checked by a short shot test with LDPE and the PIM feedstock. Production capability of the PIM process for the dental scaler tip was examined with the mold. Although there were minor problems such as a discoloration around the gate and a flashing at the air vent, the PIM process turned out to be an excellent substitute for machining process to manufacture the ultrasonic dental scaler tip.

The optical properties of micro-structure surface mold roller in the field of optics, machinery and electronics, biomedical and defense sectors are showing an increasingly important application value and broad application prospects. There is still no more mature method to machining ultra-precision large-size optical V-groove mold roller, and the roller surface treatment technology cant meet the technical requirements of the field of optical applications. This article takes advantage of ultra-precision diamond turning to machining V-groove structure on nickel-phosphorus plating steel roller by spiral cutting method. The helix angle of the mold roller was designed 0.9", which meet the requirements of the experimental error, while using a nickel-phosphorus alloy coating can eliminate the secondary polishing process and achieve a cost-efficient ultra-precision machining. Analyzed the processed tool wear, high-temperature graphitization and micro-chipping were the main reason for tool wear.

In the electronics packaging industry, Epoxy Mold Compound (EMC) polymer matrix is filled with fused silica (SiO2) to obtain the required roughness and hardness. Gate chip off, which occurs during the degating process in transfer molding is one of the common defects which contributes to the failure in the proper functioning of the package. During the degating process, surface contact between two solid bodies (degating blade and gate) generate a high shear stress on package, thus creating a high potential for the incidence of gate chip of. In this study, the influence of transfer molding parameters and size of fillers (normal and fine) on the gate chip off were investigated. The application of Design of Experiments (DOE) using regression model and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) showed that molding parameters do not significantly influence the incidence of gate chip off. Numerical simulation was used to investigate effect of two filler sizes and molding parameters on the mold fill time, end pressure of fill and shear stress at the wall. The results showed there were no significant influences on mold fill time but the fine filler showed lower pressure at the end of fill and lower shear stress at the wall. Experimental results of two sizes if filler shown that fine filler mold compound exhibited in reduction of gate chip off formation, compared to normal filler mold compound. Smooth surface of fine mold compound lead to decrease of friction shear stress during degating is expected contribute to this finding.

In particular, heterogeneous integration of logic and memory or sensing is an enormous growth segment for both mobile electronics and IoT applications. In the mobile microprocessor segment of the field, the most advanced technologies will be implemented in the early adopter class. New package architectures and interconnect schemes will be vetted and implemented without significant cost pressure, performance is the driver. In the IoT segment and downstream mobile, however; lower cost alternatives to cutting edge packaging architectures are needed to drive market growth. Sintering pastes offer an opportunity to cost-effectively enable cutting edge 3D package capability for a wider variety of applications. In this paper we will explore the use of transient liquid phase sintering (TLPS) pastes in package-on-package (POP) schemes for integrated logic with memory or sensing functions in through mold via architectures. Through mold via technology has been well established in the industry and has significantly contributed to the adoption of three dimensional packaging architectures. The advantages of using TLPS pastes in similar structures will be detailed.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The integration of structural electronics in injection-molded parts is a challenging step. The films—comprising of laminated stacks with electronics—are exposed to shear stresses and elevated temperatures by the molten thermoplastic. Hence, molding settings have a significant impact on the successful, damage-free manufacturing of such parts. In this paper, test films with polycarbonate (PC) sheets as outer and two different thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) as middle layers incorporating conductive tracks on a flexible printed circuit board (flexPCB) are manufactured and overmolded with PC. Parameter studies investigating the influence of the melt temperature, mold temperature, injection speed and used TPU layer were performed. The molded parts were inspected visually and compared with a numerical simulation using injection molding software. A shear distortion factor for the TPU layer was derived based on the simulations that linked the shear stresses with the injection time and the softening (melting) of the TPU. The distortion of the films was found to reduce with higher melt temperature, lower mold temperature and faster injection speed. Films using the TPU with the higher melting temperature yielded significantly better results. Moreover, distortion on the films reduced with the increasing distance to the gate and a larger cavity thickness was found to be beneficial. All those relations could be correlated with the shear distortion factor.

Abstract Micro structured optical plastics components are intensively used, i.e. in consumer electronics, for optical sensors in metrology, innovative LED-lighting, or laser technology. Injection molding has been proven successful for the large-scale production of these parts. However, the production of these parts still causes difficulties due to challenges in the molding and demolding of plastics parts created with laser-structured mold inserts. A complete molding of the structures often leads to increased demolding forces, which then cause a breaking of the structures and a clogging of the mold. An innovative approach is to combine physical vapor deposition (PVD)-coated, laser-structured inserts and a variothermal molding process to create functional micro structures in a one-step process. Therefore, a PVD coating is applied after the laser-structuring process in order to improve the wear resistance and the anti-adhesive properties against the plastics melt. In a series of molding trials with polycarbonate (PC) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) using different coated molds, the mold temperature during injection was varied in the range of the glass transition and the melt temperature of the polymers. Subsequently, the surface topography of the molded parts was evaluated by digital three-dimensional laser-scanning microscopy. The influence of the molding parameters and the coating of the mold insert on the molding accuracy and the demolding behavior were analyzed. It was shown that micro structures created by ultra-short pulse laser ablation can be successfully replicated in a variothermal molding process. Due to the mold coating, significant improvements could be achieved in producing micro structured optical plastics components.

Conjugated polymers have emerged as promising materials for next-generation electronics. However, in spite of having several advantages, such as a low cost, large area processability and flexibility, polymer-based electronics have their own limitations concerning low electrical performance. To achieve high-performance polymer electronic devices, various strategies have been suggested, including aligning polymer backbones in the desired orientation. In the present paper, we report a simple patterning technique using a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) mold that can fabricate highly aligned nanowires of a diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-based donor–acceptor-type copolymer (poly (diketopyrrolopyrrole-alt-thieno [3,2-b] thiophene), DPP-DTT) for high-performance field effect transistors. The morphology of the patterns was controlled by changing the concentration of the DPP-based copolymer solution (1, 3, 5 mg mL−1). The molecular alignment properties of three different patterns were observed with a polarized optical microscope, polarized UV-vis spectroscopy and an X-ray diffractometer. DPP-DTT nanowires made with 1 mg mL−1 solution are highly aligned and the polymer field-effect transistors based on nanowires exhibit more than a five times higher charge carrier mobility as compared to spin-coated film-based devices.

Roll-to-roll nanoimprinting is an emerging technology that has revolutionized the sectors of flexible electronics, thin films, and solar cells with its high throughput. However, there is still room for improvement. In this study, a FEM analysis (in ANSYS) was carried out on a large-area roll-to-roll nanoimprint system in which the master roller consists of a large nanopatterned nickel mold joined to a carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) base roller using epoxy adhesive. Deflections and pressure uniformity of the nano-mold assembly were analyzed under loadings of different magnitudes in a roll-to-roll nanoimprinting setup. Optimization of deflections was performed with applied loadings, and the lowest deflection value was 97.69 nm. The adhesive bond viability was assessed under a range of applied forces. Finally, potential strategies to reduce deflections were also discussed, which can be helpful in increasing pressure uniformity.

Molded interconnect device (MID) technology is a key enabling technology with growing markets in automotive, communications, consumer electronics through integration with lighting and sensor technologies. The MID technology is yet to be explored for high temperature applications in automotive or consumer lighting. One of the hindering factors for such implementation in the serial production and time to market is the improper electronic and thermal packaging of the light emitting diodes (LEDs) on the MID substrates. This paper addresses the optimization of mold design, surface metallization and soldering process for the effective thermal management of the high-power LED systems. By using a simulation model, the thermal distribution and the resultant decrease in temperatures for varying forward electrical currents in high-power LEDs by design optimization is demonstrated. In addition, the optimization of solder process with respect to solder profile in context of vacuum vapor-phase soldering for void-free solder connections is discussed.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Nanostructures with sufficiently large areas are necessary for the development of practical devices. Current efforts to fabricate large-area nanostructures using step-and-repeat nanoimprint lithography, however, result in either wide seams or low efficiency due to ultraviolet light leakage and the overflow of imprint resin. In this study, we propose an efficient method for large-area nanostructure fabrication using step-and-repeat nanoimprint lithography with a composite mold. The composite mold consists of a quartz support layer, a soft polydimethylsiloxane buffer layer, and multiple intermediate polymer stamps arranged in a cross pattern. The distance between the adjacent stamp pattern areas is equal to the width of the pattern area. This design combines the high imprinting precision of hard molds with the uniform large-area imprinting offered by soft molds. In this experiment, we utilized a composite mold consisting of three sub-molds combined with a cross-nanoimprint strategy to create large-area nanostructures measuring 5 mm × 30 mm on a silicon substrate, with the minimum linewidth of the structure being 100 nm. Compared with traditional step-and-flash nanoimprint lithography, the present method enhances manufacturing efficiency and generates large-area patterns with seam errors only at the micron level. This research could help advance micro–nano optics, flexible electronics, optical communication, and biomedicine studies.

In recent years, as an important functional material, glass has been widely used in architecture, electronics, optics, and other fields. As an emerging glass processing technology, the glass molding process (GMP) has received widespread attention and research in recent years. In this paper, we study the modeling and analysis of different heat transfer strategies for the energy efficiency of large-sized automotive instrument glass. The heat transfer model of the metal heating plate–conducting plate mold is established, the thermal energy efficiency in the forming process of large automobile glass is analyzed, and the energy efficiency of the mold in the heating stage is compared. The energy consumption per piece generated by the GMP heating device is reduced from 4865.2 to 4668.5 kJ, a reduction of 4.04%. By optimizing the heat flow density, the energy consumption per piece generated by the GMP heating device was reduced from 4865.2 to 4625.5 kJ, a reduction of 4.92%, meeting the sustainable manufacturing requirements.

Plastics have been heavily used in industries like automobile, manufacturing, electrical and electronics industry all over the world. Injection molding is one of the ways to process plastics polymers. However, one of the difficulties they have to face is to set the optimal parameter for the injection molding process. Incorrect parameter selection can lead to parts defects such as warpage, shrinkage, sink marks, weld marks and so on. In this study, the optimal process parameter of injection molding for manufacturing of plastic pallets which is used for warehousing was determined by the orthogonal array of Taguchi’s L9 which has 3 factors and 3 levels for each factor, experimental design, and Regression Analysis. The three main parameters such as Mold temperature, holding pressure and charging speed were choosen to study their effect on the Compressive strength. S/N ratios were utilized for determining the optimal set of parameters. According to the results, 230 °C of mold temperature, 98 RPM of charging speed, 25 MPa of Holding pressure make the products in the shape and proportion of the product satisfactory. Statically the most significant parameters were found to be as mold temperature and Charging speed for the Polypropylene moldings, respectively. Holding pressure had the least effect on the compressive strength of PP material. After the degree of significance of the studied process parameters was determined, the linear Regression model was generated and was shown to be an effective predictive tool for Compressive strength.

Injection molding is the most widely used technique for making the related plastic parts for consumer electronics goods with limited lifespans, like mobile phones, which are growing more and more popular. The molten plastic beads must be injected into a mold cavity, cooled, then part-formed and ejected. Filling, packing, cooling, and ejection are the four key steps in an injection molding process. The length of the molding cycle affects how economical the procedure is. The cooling step is the most crucial of the three since it controls how quickly are produced. Otherwise, cooling systems are important for the injection molding process in terms of productivity, quality, and mold-making costs. In this paper, three conformal cooling channel designs are proposed for obtaining uniform cooling over the molded parts. The research is conducted by using CAE software (MOLDEX 3D) to simulate the injection process and compare the results of three conformal cooling channel designs with molded part cooling by moldbase. All three designs show that warpage and cycle time improve significantly, helping to decrease cost and increase productivity. In which the combination of a conformal cooling channel outside and a baffle cooling channel significantly reduces the warpage.

In recent years, with increasing demand for high-density assembly in mobile electronics products, a package-on-package (PoP) structure has been standardized. The demand for lowering the PoP profile is getting stronger as consumers demand thinner mobile devices. To assemble a low profile PoP and mount it on a mother board, it is necessary to have a precise warpage control of PoP components, including its bottom package. It is expected that a flip-chip chip-scale-package (FCCSP) with thin mold cap will be used as the bottom package of the PoP in the next 2–3 years. In order to control the package warpage, it is necessary to optimize a large number of parameters related to the package substrate, silicon die and mold compound. Among them, equivalent coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the package substrate is one of the most important factors. In this paper, control of the package warpage was studied by focusing on the glass-cloth content ratio in the package substrate. Glass-cloth has the lowest CTE among the constituent materials of the substrate, so it contributes to reduce the equivalent CTE of the substrate. To maximize the glass-cloth content, a substrate with a thick core and thin build-up structure was prepared, and the package with thin mold cap was subsequently formed. Compared with a similar package with a conventional substrate structure, its warpage, measured experimentally, was about 20% smaller. Consequently, it was concluded that the glass-cloth content ratio is a key factor to control package warpage behavior in the PoP assembly process.

Micro- and nanopatterns perform unique functions and have attracted attention in various industrial fields, such as electronic devices, microfluidics, biotechnology, optics, sensors, and smart and anti-adhesion surfaces. To put fine-patterned products to practical use, low-cost patterning technology is necessary. Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) is a promising technique for high-throughput nanopattern fabrication. In particular, thermal nanoimprint lithography (T-NIL) has the advantage of employing flexible materials and eliminating chemicals and solvents. Moreover, T-NIL is particularly suitable for compostable and recyclable materials, especially when applying biobased materials for use in optics and electronics. These attributes make T-NIL an eco-friendly process. However, the processing time of normal T-NIL is longer than that of ultraviolet (UV) NIL using a UV-curable resin because the T-NIL process requires heating and cooling time. Therefore, many studies focus on improving the throughput of T-NIL. Specifically, a T-NIL process based on a roll-to-roll web system shows promise for next-generation nanopatterning techniques because it enables large-area applications with the capability to process webs several meters in width. In this review, the T-NIL process, roll mold fabrication techniques, and various materials are introduced. Moreover, metal pattern transfer techniques using a combination of nanotransfer printing, T-NIL, and a reverse offset are introduced.

Lean Six Sigma is a collective approach, which uses various techniques and tools for quality improvement. Here, Lean Six Sigma methodology was applied to a small injection molding unit (which can be taken as representative of small and medium-size industries) manufacturing casing of electronics part. The DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) approach of Lean Six Sigma was applied to reduce the rejection rate of the casing (child part of an electronic product) by changing setting parameters: mold temperature, injection pressure and injection speed in the injection mold process. The statistical techniques such as DOE full factorial experiment, and process capability analysis were done to finding the process capability before and after the Lean Six Sigma implementation. After implementing the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC approach it was found that injection molding firms can increase their profit by increase yield rate and deleting rejection rate of casing part. Lean Six Sigma implementation increase the process sigma level from 4,3σ to 4,7σ by a reduction in casing flow mark variation and transparency. This increase in sigma level will give defect cost reduction to the industry which is a good figure for such an industry.

The development of the micro-powder injection molding (µPIM) process from the powder injection molding (PIM) process has been prompted by the demand of the worldwide market to produce micro-sized components. The need for µPIM-processed components is currently rising across a range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, food, biomedical, electronics, and telecommunications. In the current research work, homogeneous HA feedstock with a powder loading of 57 vol.% was prepared by mixing HA powder particles with palm stearin and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) binders at a mixing temperature of 150 °C for 6 h. Defect-free injection molded or green micro-sized components of HA were produced by employing injection pressure, injection time, mold temperature, and melt temperature of 12 bar, 5 s, 110 °C, and 180 °C, respectively. When mold temperatures less than 110 °C were used, short shot defects were frequently observed in green specimens. After solvent debinding at 60 °C for 50 min, 82.2% of the palm stearin was removed from the green part. No difference in dimension between the solvent debound part and the green part was noticed. An open-pore structure developed in the solvent debound HA microcomponent is helpful for eliminating the insoluble LDPE binder during the thermal debinding phase.

Three-dimensional microstructures play a key role in the fabrication of flexible electronic products. However, the development of flexible electronics is limited in further applications due to low positioning accuracy, the complex process, and low production efficiency. In this study, a novel method for fabricating three-dimensional circular truncated cone microstructures via low-frequency ultrasonic resonance printing is proposed. Simultaneously, to simplify the manufacturing process of flexible sensors, the microstructure and printed interdigital electrodes were fabricated into an integrated structure, and a flexible pressure sensor with microstructures was fabricated. Additionally, the effects of flexible pressure sensors with and without microstructures on performance were studied. The results show that the overall performance of the designed sensor with microstructures could be effectively improved by 69%. Moreover, the sensitivity of the flexible pressure sensor with microstructures was 0.042 kPa−1 in the working range of pressure from 2.5 to 10 kPa, and the sensitivity was as low as 0.013 kPa−1 within the pressure range of 10 to 30 kPa. Meanwhile, the sensor showed a fast response time, which was 112 ms. The stability remained good after the 100 cycles of testing. The performance was better than that of the flexible sensor fabricated by the traditional inverted mold method. This lays a foundation for the development of flexible electronic technology in the future.

Anti-reflection layers made from sub-wavelength structures or nanostructure arrays have been extensively studied due to the high demand of the solar cell markets and the use of consuming electronics such as plane displays, glasses, prisms, videos, and the monitors of the camera. Conventionally, this anti-reflection layer was fabricated by multilayer films deposition through sputtering, wet-coating or sol-gel. However, these methods have several disadvantages such as process instability, high cost and high temperature procedure. In the current study, fabrication methods of UV curing and nano-imprinting processes are proposed to produce large-area polymer sheets with sub-wavelength structures (SWS). Porous anodic alumina (PAA) mold of nano-holes was used to fabricate SWS on a PET sheet with UV photoresists of refractive index of 1.53 by roll-to-roll processing. The reflectance of SWS on PET decreases from 9.39 to 4.25% at the wavelength of 550 nm. The contact angle changes from 78.1° to 103.2°. The porous anodic alumina mold was also used to imprint a PMMA film and SWS were obtained by hot embossing at different temperatures. The reflectance changes from 4.25 to 2.16% at the wavelength of 550 nm after nano-imprinting. A successful low cost approach to produce large-area polymer sheets with SWS is obtained by both UV curing and nano-imprinting processes.

Abstract Hydrogels with intrinsic high stretchability and flexibility are extremely attractive for soft electronics. However, the existing complicated and laborious methods (such as mold curing) to fabricate microstructured hydrogel (MH) still limit the development of hydrogel-based sensors for flexible devices. Herein, we use digital light processing 3D printing technology to rapidly construct double-network (DN) ionic conductive hydrogel, and then design and print fingerprint-like MH film to manufacture an iontronic pressure sensor. In particular, the DN hydrogel consists of acrylamide/acrylic acid to form a covalently cross-linked network, and magnesium chloride is introduced to form an ionic cross-linked physical network in the hydrogel. The printability (with resolution 150 μm) and mechanical property tunability of DN hydrogel enable the convenient fabrication of sensors. With the biomimetic fingerprint MH film, the iontronic pressure sensor not only has a high sensitivity (0.06 kPa−1), but also has a large detection range (26 Pa–70 kPa) and good stability (200 cycles of pressure loading). We demonstrated that our sensor can be applied to realize tactile sensing in a prosthetic application and detect human motion. With the easy strategy of constructing DN hydrogel with microstructures by 3D printing technology, hydrogel-based sensors are anticipated to be employed in more smart electronics.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In this article, a new conceptual biomedical engineering strategy to tackle modern disease challenges, called liquid metal (LM) enabled electrobiology, is proposed. This generalized and simple method is based on the physiological fact that specially administrated electricity induces a series of subsequent desired biological effects, either shortly, transitionally, or permanently. Due to high compliance within biological tissues, LM would help mold a pervasive method for treating physiological or psychological diseases. As highly conductive and non-toxic multifunctional flexible materials, such LMs can generate any requested electric treating fields (ETFields), which can adapt to various sites inside the human body. The basic mechanisms of electrobiology in delivering electricity to the target tissues and then inducing expected outputs for disease treatment are interpreted. The methods for realizing soft and conformable electronics based on LM are illustrated. Furthermore, a group of typical disease challenges are observed to illustrate the basic strategies for performing LM electrobiology therapy, which include but are not limited to: tissue electronics, brain disorder, immunotherapy, neural functional recovery, muscle stimulation, skin rejuvenation, cosmetology and dieting, artificial organs, cardiac pacing, cancer therapy, etc. Some practical issues regarding electrobiology for future disease therapy are discussed. Perspectives in this direction for incubating a simple biomedical tool for health care are pointed out.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Polymer films with nano- or microstructured surfaces have been widely applied to optical devices, bioplates, and printed electronics. Laser-assisted thermal imprinting (LATI), in which a laser directly heats the surfaces of a mold and a thermoplastic polymer, is one of the high-throughput methods of replicating nano- or microstructures on polymer films. Only the surfaces of the mold and polymer film are heated and cooled rapidly, therefore it is possible to replicate nano- or microstructures on polymer films more rapidly than by using conventional thermal nanoimprinting. In this study, microlens arrays (MLAs) were replicated on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) films using LATI, and the effects of the pressing pressure (10−50 MPa) and the pattern size (33- and 5-μm pitch) of the MLA on the filling ratio were investigated by analyzing a microlens replicated using different laser-irradiation times (0.1−2 ms). The filling ratio increased with increasing pressing pressure and laser-irradiation time in the replication of MLAs with varying sizes, while the flow of the PMMA varied with the pressing pressure and laser-irradiation time. It was found that during filling, the shape of the polymer cross-sectional surface demonstrated a double and single peak in the 33- and 5-μm-pitch patterns, respectively. This was because the depth of the heated area in the 33-μm-pitch pattern was smaller than the pattern size, whereas that of the 5-μm-pitch pattern was comparable to (or larger) than the pattern size.

Highly deformable devices have many potential applications, including wearable electronics, robotics and health monitoring. Mechanically deformable devices and sensors can conformally cover electronic systems on curved or soft surfaces. Liquids deform more easily than solids, so sensors and actuators that utilise liquids trapped in soft templates as sensing components are ideal platforms for such applications. Such highly deformable electronics using ultra-flexible conductive materials are called stretchable electronics. Liquid metals (LMs) are one of the leading materials. In the last few years, liquid metals have steadily gained interest, especially in the field of flexible soft electronics and related applications. The term liquid metal has several definitions and many research efforts are underway to utilise liquid metals in various fields. The simplest definition can be given as 'a composite of low-melting alloys that retain their liquid state at room temperature, are easily deformable and have high electrical conductivity'. Here, an overview of liquid metals, new processing methods, sensors and actuators, batteries and smart devices are reported in focus. To date, we have adopted a patterned method using microfluidic channels with regard to processing methods for liquid metals such as EGaIn and Galinstan. Microfluidic channels are one of the most accurate and reliable method of producing electrode patterns among the three processing methods, although they are limited by the substrate material and pattern design for pattern fabrication. The creation of microfluidic channels follows the method used in Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and micro Total Analysis Systems (microTAS). In practice, the molds are fabricated by photolithography using SU-8 photoresist. Rubber materials such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) are poured into the mold and allowed to cure. Microfluidic channels are fabricated by chemically bonding the flat PDMS with the PDMS to which the pattern has been transferred. We have succeeded in fabricating a two-dimensional pattern of liquid metal by the method described above. Furthermore, we have successfully fabricated microfluidic channels by 3D printing of rubber materials and constructed 3D circuits by using liquid metal. As liquid metal is a liquid material, processing methods centred on "printing" processing can be used, and the most suitable processing method can be selected according to the device and application. Physical sensors such as strain sensors and chemical sensors such as oxygen gas sensors have been reported using liquid metal wiring. By optimising the wiring of the liquid metal, capacitor structures and resistors can be fabricated. By encapsulating these in a flexible material, PDMS, it is possible to realize sensors that can measure displacements such as strain. Indeed, by optimising three sensor structures, we have reported a physical sensor capable of sensing three sensing modes: two-dimensional tension and vertical compression. However, taking into account the actual application in wearable devices for healthcare applications such as pulse rate, a detection sensitivity below 1 k Pa is required. The authors realized a high-sensitivity pressure sensor by using a Wheatstone bridge circuit structure for the liquid metal wiring in the PDMS to form a Diaphragm sensor. In fact, a pulse rate sensing device was realized based on the developed device. Furthermore, a PDMS glove capable of measuring 16 points simultaneously was realized by attaching the developed pressure sensor to a hand mold using 3D printing5). Such physical sensors are very easy to construct and can be realized with one type of liquid metal. While there are many different types of liquid metals as described above, liquid metals easily mix when they come into contact with each other. Therefore, the authors proposed a "liquid" state heterojunction using ionic liquids and liquid metals with extremely low vapor pressure. By using ionic liquids [EMIM][Otf], [EMIM][PF6] and [EMPYR][NTf2], sensors for temperature, humidity and oxygen gas were realized. Furthermore, with regard to their sensitivity, the detection sensitivity was 10 times higher than that of normal metal temperature and humidity sensors for temperature and humidity sensors. In this study, heterojunctions were realized using microfluidics. Due to the low Reynolds number of the microfluidics, the robustness of the liquid state heterojunction with respect to deformation was also very high due to the high viscosity effect, making the configuration suitable for stretchable sensors. In addition to electrodes and sensors, development of batteries and smart devices has also been initiated and will be reported in this presentation.

Injection molding is an efficient and precise manufacturing technology that is widely used in the production of plastic products. In recent years, injection molding technology has made significant progress, especially with the combination of in-mold electronics (IME) technology, which makes it possible to embed electronic components directly into the surface of a product. IME technology improves the integration and performance of a product by embedding conductive materials and functional components in the mold. Brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) are a rapidly growing field of research that aims to capture, analyze, and feedback brain signals by directly connecting the brain to external devices. The Utah array, a high-density microelectrode array, has been widely used for the recording and transmission of brain signals. However, the traditional fabrication method of the Utah array suffers from high cost and low integration, which limits its promotion in practical applications. The lines that receive EEG signals are one of the key parts of a brain–computer interface system. The optimization of injection molding parameters is particularly important in order to effectively embed these lines into thin films and to ensure the precise displacement of the line nodes and the stability of signal transmission during the injection molding process. In this study, a method based on the Kriging prediction model and sparse regression partial differential equations (PDEs) is proposed to optimize the key parameters in the injection molding process. This method can effectively predict and control the displacement of nodes in the film, ensure the stability and reliability of the line during the injection process, and improve the accuracy of EEG signal transmission and system performance. The optimal injection parameters were finally obtained: a holding pressure of 525 MPa, a holding time of 50 s, and a melting temperature of 285 °C. Under this condition, the average node displacement of UA was reduced from the initial 0.19 mm to 0.89 µm, with an optimization rate of 95.32%.

Abstract PolyDiMethylSiloxane (PDMS) is an elastomer increasingly used to produce soft objects by replication, in a variety of fields including soft electronics, microfluidics, tribology, biomechanics and soft robotics. While PDMS replication is usually considered faithful at all scales, down to nanoscales, detailed quantitative comparisons between the geometric features of the mold and the replicated object are still required to further ground this commonly accepted view. Here, we show that the top surface of centimetric parallelepipedic PDMS blocks, molded on a rigid plate, deviates from its expected flatness, the amplitude of the deviation being dependent on the crosslinking protocol. As a practical solution, we identify a suitable two-steps protocol which eliminates those replication errors. Using finite element simulations, we show that the effect originates from a thermal contraction when the sample cools from the curing temperature down to the operating temperature. This phenomenon actually applies at any length scale, and finely depends on the sample’s aspect ratio and boundary conditions. Our results should help mitigating replication errors in all applications where a well-defined sample geometry is required.

Objective: High performance wearable sensors for biological and bio-technological recognition of human epidermal movements and muscle tissue deformations are attracting widespread attention and demonstrate fascinating potential for future wearable electronics. Methods: This work demonstrates conductive networks and film cracks-based stretchable strain sensors using carbonic sensing layers / mold star silicone elastomer nanocomposites. Results: The as-fabricated stretchable strain sensors demonstrate captivating superiority, including simplicity in the fabrication steps and ultra-high strain sensitivity far exceeding recently reported state-of-the-art strain sensors. Prominently, the stretchable strain sensors exhibit dazzling piezoresistivity with a high gauge factor of 2,185 and a wide sensing range of 30% strain. The working mechanism depends on the electrical resistance variations, which is strikingly altered by a percolating network crack surface microstructure due to strain concentration during tensile deformations. The ultra-sensitive sensing performance in conjunction with a wide sensing range, prominent linearity (R2>0.99 in the strain range of 15-30%), excellent reversibility characteristics and remarkable durability (more than 1,300 stretch-release cycles under a large-scale strain of 30%) for large-scale tensile deformations. Conclusion: The stretchable strain sensors to be employed as wearable strain monitoring devices for the diverse-range of practical applications, including but not confined to multi-scale monitoring, electronic skins, smart robotics, human-machine / computer interfaces, as well as sports performance monitoring.
