Examples of 3D printed electronics and microfluidic devices

My research group pioneers the field of 3D printed flexible and bio-integrated electronics with in situ nonthermal plasma activation to achieve low temperature, biocompatibility and high performance without any post treatment. We have established the on-the-fly interaction pathways between plasma reactive species and aerosolized precursors by experiments and simulations. The efficient material conversion and functionalization of conductors and semiconductors enable automated and conformal printing of 3D-structured bioelectronics such as bionic eyes and brain computer interfaces.
