Functional heterophase materials for structural electronics

Foundation for Polish Science, FIRST TEAM/2016-1/7

The project is carried out within the First TEAM programme of the Foundation for Polish Science co-financed by the European Union under the European Regional Development Fund.

“Science is messy, and the results of research rarely conform fully to plan or expectation. ‘Clean’ narratives are an artefact of inappropriate pressures and the culture they have generated.”

The main objective of this project is to design, fabricate and characterise a group of composite materials with tailored physical properties for additive manufacturing of structural electronics. A vast range of investigations will be conducted on fabrication of polymer composites with metal, carbon, ceramic, semiconductor, and other type of functional phases – including, but not limited to nanomaterials – with emphasis on rheology, dispersion and homogenization, electrical properties (resistivity, dielectric properties, noises), mechanical and environmental factors and other functional properties (optical, magnetic, piezo, thermal, etc.).

Energy harvesting and self-sensing multi-functional polymer composites

Chapter 19 in Composites Assembly for High Performance Fastener-less Structures, 2022, ISBN-13: 978-1-83953-149-1 Frequently, the technical standards for the properties of materials to be utilised in products surpass the capabilities of a single material class, such as polymers, metals or ceramics. Such limits may sometimes be circumvented by mixing two types of materials in a …

Composite powders with carbon nanotubes for laser printing of electronics

Microelectronics Reliability 136, 114718 (2022) The purpose of this work is to develop electrically conductive composite fine powder containing carbon nanotubes, for use in the laser printing technique. This requires the evaluation of several approaches to the mixing of thermofusible powder with carbon nanotubes. For the experiments, a commercial toner for HP laser printer was …
