Electroactive Papers, Films, Filaments, Aerogels, and Hydrogels to Realize the Future of Bio-based Electronics, 19PaperCon
Bio-based electronics is an emerging field of research and innovation where electronic functionalities are added to bio-based materials. The current study focuses on the mixing of electroactive additives (EAA), such as conducting polymers or particles, in five different cellulose structures and how these can be further processed into electroactive papers and films. The cellulose structures that are considered are cellulose nanofibril (CNF) hydrogels, CNF aerogels, CNF filaments, CNF films and cellulose papers. Different processing techniques of electroactive papers and films are described and how these will influence the final structure. Each of these techniques offer specific advantages and drawbacks compared to clean room production of electronics and printed electronics.
In the presentation we will discuss what is driving the development of bio-based electronics and the features that are brought with the new paradigm. Examples will be given on how the cellulose structure can contribute e.g. structural integrity, processability, ionic conductivity, shapeability and a large inner surface to electronic materials. We argue that these new materials can serve as important building blocks in the next generation of electronic components ranging energy storage, sensors, antennas and displays.
