Handbook of Printed Electronics: From Materials to Processes to Systems

This handbook is a world-class reference volume on the processes, industry requirements, and emerging application areas of printed electronics. Containing contributions from experts in academia and industry, it provides a balanced presentation of the field and is appropriate for a wide audience, from students, to researchers and industrial product designers.
It is organized into 3 sections; the first focuses on materials used in printed electronics devices. Chapters cover the requirements for components such as active materials, interconnects, passives, substrates and encapsulation, current state-of-the-art, and possible future developments. Fundamental performance requirements are also critically assessed and compared with properties of materials currently available.The second section covers all aspects of available and foreseeable process technology and critically reviews the suitability of methods and materials for production processes. Topics that are addressed include fabrication, dispersion and inks, film formation and drying processes, sheet-based and roll-to-roll printing techniques, encapsulation processes, microcontact printing, and nano-imprint lithography.The last section presents an overview of device-level printed electronics and technologies that have reached a level of maturation that allows for design and fabrication of integrated modules and systems. The current research and industrial developments are reviewed for printed lighting and displays, printed photovoltaics, organic/inorganic/hybrid components for printed electronics, printed transistors and logic structures, and printed energy storage devices.

這本手冊是一本世界級的參考書，涵蓋了印刷電子學的過程、行業需求和新興應用領域。它收錄了來自學術界和工業界的專家貢獻，提供了對這個領域的平衡介紹，適合廣大讀者，從學生到研究人員和工業產品設計師。

本書分為三個部分；第一部分聚焦於印刷電子設備中使用的材料。章節涵蓋了活性材料、互連、被動元件、基板和封裝等組件的要求，目前的最新技術水平以及可能的未來發展。基本性能要求也被評估並與目前可用材料的性質進行比較。

第二部分涵蓋了所有可用和可預見的製程技術，並對方法和材料在生產過程中的適用性進行了評估。討論的主題包括製造、分散和墨水、薄膜形成和乾燥過程、基於片材和卷材的印刷技術、封裝過程、微接觸印刷和納米壓印技術。

最後一部分概述了設備級印刷電子學和已達到成熟水平的技術，使得可以設計和製造集成模塊和系統。該部分回顧了印刷照明和顯示器、印刷光伏、印刷電子學的有機/無機/混合元件、印刷晶體管和邏輯結構以及印刷能量儲存設備的當前研究和工業發展。
