[IEEE 2018 40th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC) - Honolulu, HI, USA (2018.7.18-2018.7.21)] 2018 40th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC) - Inkjet Printed Parallel Plate Capacitors Using PVP Polymer Dielectric Ink on Flexible Polyimide Substrates
摘要： Inkjet printing (IJP) is an exciting new additive manufacturing technology that promises monolithic electronic circuit fabrication of μm thin low-cost large-area electronic low-cost body-worn flexible sensors. In this work, we demonstrate inkjet printed multilayer metal-dielectric-metal capacitors on flexible polyimide (PI) substrate by formulating a custom dielectric ink based on Poly 4-vinylphenol (PVP). Silver nanoparticle ink was used for printing the conductive parallel metal plates. We also demonstrate control over the capacitance values by varying the design parameters and succeeded in printing capacitors in the range 8.8 pF to 467 pF, with excellent repeatability on flexible PI substrates. A functional LC circuit using these printed capacitors has been designed and demonstrated to have a resonance frequency of 24.3 MHz. These results are a vital step forward towards monolithic printing of flexible electronic circuits using IJP technique for many applications such as body-worn sensors.

Preparation of highly thermally conductive and electrically insulating PI/BNNSs nanocomposites by hot-pressing self-assembled PI/BNNSs microspheres
摘要： Traditional polymer-based thermally conductive composites with randomly distributed fillers always yield an undesired heat removal due to the lack of efficient heat transfer pathways. Thus, realization of rational and ordered distribution of thermally conductive nanofillers in polymer matrix is believed to be significant for obtaining a desirable thermal conductivity. Herein, a series of thermally conductive polyimide/boron nitride nanosheets (PI/BNNSs) composites with a highly ordered BNNSs network have been successfully prepared. For achieving an uniform dispersion and high orientation of BN nanosheets in PI matrix, self-assembled PI/BNNSs complex microspheres were firstly prepared via the van der Waals interaction, and then these complex microspheres were further hot-pressed at the Tg of PI matrix, which rendered the alignment of BNNSs during the deformation of complex microspheres and built an efficient heat transfer pathway. As a consequence, the resultant composites possess a much higher in-plane thermal conductivity up to 4.25 W/mK with 12.4 vol% oriented BNNSs than those of pure PI and random distribution composite (0.85 W/mK for pure PI and 1.3 W/mK for the PI/random BNNSs-12.4). Meanwhile, these nanocomposites present excellent electrically insulating properties, improved dimensional stabilities and good thermal stabilities. This facile method provides a new way to design and fabricate highly thermally conductive PI-based composites for applying in heat dissipation of modern portable and collapsible electronic devices.

Influence of solvent solubility parameter on the power law exponents and critical concentrations of one soluble polyimide in solution
摘要： Solvent species influence the interactions of dissolved polymers in solution and consequently induce changes in solution properties. A soluble polyimide was synthesized through polycondensation, and four solvents, namely, N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc), N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), were selected to investigate systematically the influence of solubility parameter on solution power law behaviors. The power law relationship between specific viscosity and concentration was established using rheology and applying concepts from the Zimm, Rouse-Zimm, and Doi-Edwards models. All power law exponents were higher than theoretical predictions, and in the three concentration regions, i.e. dilute, semidilute unentangled, and semidilute entangled, the exponents increase, decrease, and increase, respectively, with respect to solubility parameter. Arguments derived from the listed models are proposed to explain these trends. The influences of solubility parameter on the overlap and entanglement concentrations are also discussed.

Improved conductivity of carbonized polyimide by CO <sub/>2</sub> laser graphitization
摘要： Direct laser writing (DLW) is a fast and cost-effective technique for printing conductive structures on flexible substrates such as polyimide (PI) by the conversion of insulative PI to conductive carbon. However, the conductivity (B103 S m?1) obtained by this method needs to be improved to compete with ink-jet printing of carbon-based materials. The reason behind the low conductivity achieved by the DLW process is due to the crystallinity and hybridization of bonding in carbonaceous structures. In this work, the DLW process has been implemented in two steps: the first step called carbonization was performed by writing pulsed CO2 laser on PI to form tracks which consist of amorphous tetrahedral carbon (a mixture of sp2 and sp3 hybridized carbon) having intrinsically low conductivity. The second step called graphitization is overwriting of the laser on the pre-carbonized tracks to convert sp3 hybridized bonds to sp2 hybridized bonds by the process called laser graphitization. The conductivity of tracks carbonized at (0.21 ± 0.02) W and fluence (3.31 ± 0.32) × 103 mJ cm?2 at a repetition rate of 0.1 kHz was 56.1 ± 3.1 S m?1 which increased to 146.7 ± 5.1 S m?1 upon overwriting with the laser at (0.50 ± 0.03) W and fluence (7.88 ± 0.47) × 103 mJ cm?2 at the same repetition rate. The photothermal process of carbonization and graphitization is modeled for the DLW process and the threshold power of both the processes is calculated and validated by Raman spectroscopy. Improved conductivity achieved by detailed understanding of the laser and material parameters involved in this transformation enables process optimization leading to future applications in scalable manufacturing of flexible bio-sensors and electrochemical energy storage devices.

Enhancement of Light Extraction from Organic Light-Emitting Diodes by SiO <sub/>2</sub> Nanoparticle-Embedded Phase Separated PAA/PI Polymer Blends
摘要： Using the phase separation of a binary immiscible polymer blend of poly(amic acid) and polyimide in combination with SiO2 nanoparticles, we have designed random nanopore and nanopillar patterns by a simple spin-coating technique. The spontaneously formed pattern structure was investigated by an atomic force microscope technique, which enhanced the external quantum efficiency of conventional green OLEDs up to a highest factor of 1.42. This enhancement is mainly attributed to the reduction of the total internal reflection at the interface of glass and air by the polymer hybrid layer on the backside of OLED devices. This work provides a new and practical approach to the development of efficient external outcoupling structures for OLEDs.

Preparation and Characterization of Semi-Alicyclic Polyimide Resins and the Derived Alignment Layers for Liquid Crystal Display Technology
摘要： Uniform alignment of rigid-rod liquid crystal (LC) molecules under applied voltage is critical for achievement of high-quality display for thin-film transistor-driven liquid crystal display devices (TFT-LCDs). The polymeric components that can induce the alignment of randomly aligned LC molecules are called alignment layers (ALs). In the current work, a series of organo-soluble polyimide (SPI) ALs were designed and prepared from an alicyclic dianhydride, hydrogenated 3,3',4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (HBPDA), and various aromatic diamines, including 4,4'-methylenedianiline (MDA) for SPI-1, 4,4',5,5'-aminodianiline (NDA) for SPI-2, 3,3',5,5'-tetramethyl-4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane (TMMDA) for SPI-3, and 3,3',5,5'-diethyl-4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane (DMDEDA) for SPI-4. The derived SPI resins were all soluble in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP). Four SPI alignment agents with the solid content of 6 wt.% were prepared by dissolving the SPI resins in the mixed solvent of NMP and butyl cellulose (BC) (NMP/BC = 80:20, weight ratio). Liquid crystal minicells were successfully fabricated using the developed SPI varnishes as the LC molecule alignment components. The SPI ALs showed good alignment ability for the LC molecules with the pretilt angles in the range of 1.58°–1.97°. The LC minicells exhibited good optoelectronic characteristics with voltage holding ratio (VHR) values higher than 96%. The good alignment ability of the SPI ALs is mainly attributed to the good comprehensive properties of the SPI layers, including high volume resistivity, high degree of imidization at the processing temperature (230 °C), good rubbing resistance, good thermal stability with glass transition temperatures (Tgs) higher than 260 °C, and excellent optical transparency with the transmittance higher than 97% at the wavelength of 550 nm.

Mechanisms of extrinsic alkali incorporation in CIGS solar cells on flexible polyimide elucidated by nanoscale and quantitative analyses
摘要： In this work, Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) solar cells on polyimide (PI) substrates were fabricated using a low-temperature three-stage co-evaporation process. To enhance device performance, the CIGS films were extrinsically doped with alkali (Na and K) using an in-situ post deposition treatment (PDT). To account for mechanisms of extrinsic alkali incorporation in CIGS solar cells on flexible polyimide, the alkali dopant concentrations in the film bulk (intragrain and grain boundary) and the surface chemistries/band structures were quantitatively investigated with various advanced characterization methods. In addition, the effects of the PDT sequences on the resulting device performance were studied with a particular emphasis on the characteristics of CIGS surfaces. By controlling the alkali incorporation into the CIGS absorber films, flexible lightweight CIGS thin-film solar cells with an efficiency of approximately 19% were obtained.

High-Gain Metasurface in Polyimide On-Chip Antenna Based on CRLH-TL for Sub-Terahertz Integrated Circuits
摘要： this paper presents a novel on-chip antenna using standard cMoS-technology based on metasurface implemented on two-layers polyimide substrates with a thickness of 500 μm. the aluminium ground-plane with thickness of 3 μm is sandwiched between the two-layers. concentric dielectric-rings are etched in the ground-plane under the radiation patches implemented on the top-layer. the radiation patches comprise concentric metal-rings that are arranged in a 3 × 3 matrix. The antennas are excited by coupling electromagnetic energy through the gaps of the concentric dielectric-rings in the ground-plane using a microstrip feedline created on the bottom polyimide-layer. the open-ended feedline is split in three-branches that are aligned under the radiation elements to couple the maximum energy. in this structure, the concentric metal-rings essentially act as series left-handed capacitances CL that extend the effective aperture area of the antenna without affecting its dimensions, and the concentric dielectric rings etched in the ground-plane act as shunt left-handed inductors LL, which suppress the surface-waves and reduce the substrates losses that leads to improved bandwidth and radiation properties. The overall structure behaves like a metasurface that is shown to exhibit a very large bandwidth of 0.350–0.385 THz with an average radiation gain and efficiency of 8.15dBi and 65.71%, respectively. It has dimensions of 6 × 6 × 1 mm3 that makes it suitable for on-chip implementation.

High-repetition-rate laser-induced damage of indium tin oxide films and polyimide films at a 1064 nm wavelength
摘要： Experiments and thermal modeling of indium tin oxide transparent conductive thin film and polyimide alignment thin film coated on fused silica substrates damaged with a 1064 nm high-repetition-rate laser are described. High-repetition-rate laser irradiation results in damaged morphologies of the bulge at low laser power density and formation of a pit in the center of the bulge at higher laser power density. The damage process that is consistent with the observations as a function of laser power density and irradiation time is related to thermal effect. Simulation of the temperature-rise by exposure to high-repetition-rate laser describes the thermal effect with different pulse oscillation.
