Conductive coatings fabricated by atmospheric plasma deposition

Scope

This activity aims at fabricating conductive patterns on flexible substrates using an innovative singe step method for depositing conductive polymers (e.g., PEDOT:PSS) using an atmospheric pressure plasma torch. Prototypes on flexible substrates (e.g., polyethylene terephthalate (PET), poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), soda-lime glass) were manufacured demonstrating suitability for flexible electronic applications.

Expected Outcomes

Prototypes on flexible conductive circuitery with engineered conductivity for advanced bioelectronic devices and sensors.
Development of natural-based conductive circuitery, e.g. multilayer structures combining PEDOT:PSS with chitosan as dielectric materials.
