Presentation SummaryBrewer Science continues to develop printable carbon-based electronics materials to enable transducer and sensor technologies for a wide span of applications. Ultrafast temperature, humidity, gas, and biosensors can all be used in health, industrial, and environmental monitoring applications. Strain and stress sensors can be used to monitor a wide range of conditions such as structural integrity, conditions shipping containers have experienced in transit, and even, potentially, the flex strain on airplane wings. Many of these applications provide elements critical to the future Internet of Things. To facilitate these transducer and sensor technologies, key materials are needed. Two materials that are in advanced development at Brewer Science are surfactant-free carbon nanotube and graphene dispersions that meet CMOS purity requirements. Surfactant-free carbon dispersions are critical to prevent variability in device performance, and they also reduce waste streams. The CMOS purity of these materials aids in device-to-device consistency and allows the transducers to have high stability with minimal hysteresis during the lifetime of the device.
