Research Methods • Specification of requirement (mechanical and chemical stability, surface and electrical properties) of paper board for electronics applications • Paper surface treatment (roughness, ink affinity, lateral diffusion etc) which enables high quality electronics printing and wet chemical process • Conductive (e.g. nano-silvers) film, polymers, semiconductors, and functional materials printing on paper using inkjet technologies and chemical vapor deposition, coating & each • Characterization of electrical and mechanical properties, exploring process limitations for mass production and manufacturability. Feed-back to paper fab and process • Passive components and sensor manufacturing and test, multi-layered structure and components testing • Integration of interconnected paper board with silicon chips and sensors for intelligent packaging (RFID/chip design should starts in parallel with paper board processing). Reliability and function test. • Production and manufacturability test for intelligent packaging, feed-back to paper board suppliers and process developers • Demonstration of intelligent paper and packaging (integrate the technologies from the whole supply chain)
Industrial Contributions • Direct contributions (i.e. direct funding, donations of lab equipment and lab materials, host student internship, support of MPW chip, offer experimental materials and test, funding IPs/patents, scholarship to postdoc or Ph.D. researchers, industrial Ph.D. etc) • In kind contributions (soft-money): i.e. your personnel participating in projects, equipment, open research positions for visiting researchers, industry PhD candidates, access to facilities etc, industrial supervisors for Ph.D. students and exjobb students, join steering board
