High-Resolution R2R-Compatible Printing of Carbon Nanotube Conductive Patterns Enabled by Cellulose Nanocrystals

Abstract

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with enhanced properties compared to conventional materials are a leading material of choice for fabricating next-generation electronic devices. Nanocellulose-based conductive component-enabled electronics also offer great potential for commercial scalability of environmentally friendly, sustainable, flexible, wearable electronics. Printing these functional materials through R2R printing will enable the economic and high-throughput production of next-generation electronic devices. However, the lateral resolution during R2R printing of these materials is currently limited due to the enhanced aggregation behavior of these high-aspect ratio particles, and the lower later..
