Printable CNT Conductors in Flexible Packaging and Wireless Sensors (Printed Electronics Europe 2013)

This presentation will focus on improvements in materials and deposition methods that allow carbon nanotube (CNT) materials to be used to make conductive traces. Demonstration of CNT material use in flexible electronics packaging and in passive radio-frequency sensor networks will be discussed.
