Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the interdisciplinary field of flexible electronic materials and additive manufacturing, and in particular to a method for constructing flexible electronic devices based on levitation 3D printing. Background Technology
[0002] This section is intended to provide background or context for the embodiments of the invention set forth in the claims. The description herein is not an admission that it is prior art simply because it is included in this section.
[0003] Flexible electronic devices are those that can be bent, folded, twisted, compressed, stretched, and even deformed into arbitrary shapes while maintaining high electrical performance, reliability, and integration. They are generally composed of an electrode network consisting of an encapsulated elastic matrix material and internal conductive materials, enabling them to adapt to different working environments and be compatible with various objects and machines. Flexible electronic devices need to have good stretchability and bendability without compromising their intrinsic electrical properties, which places high demands on the composition of circuits, packaging materials, and the overall manufacturing process of the device.
[0004] Traditional flexible electronic device manufacturing methods primarily employ mask printing, where printing ink is extruded into specific shapes through a patterned film-like mesh and then applied to a substrate using a forward-moving scraper, achieving high-precision device construction. However, this strategy typically requires complex, costly, and time-consuming transfer processes, and high-precision molds need to be manufactured through chemical etching or photolithography, severely limiting the diversity of device structures and manufacturing efficiency. In recent years, with the rapid development of 3D printing technology, bottom-up flexible electronic device construction strategies are gradually becoming mainstream. This strategy, represented by 3D printing technology, involves layer-by-layer deposition of elastomeric and conductive inks along predefined paths to form flexible electronic devices with complex structures. Among these, inkjet printing-based flexible electronics manufacturing processes typically print wires or other structures on a pre-fabricated flexible substrate, a non-contact printing process, and has become the mainstream method for flexible electronic device manufacturing. However, this point-to-line processing method is not only very inefficient when manufacturing flexible electronics with complex three-dimensional geometries, but the processing accuracy is also related to the diameter of the extrusion nozzle; therefore, higher printing accuracy results in slower printing speeds. Inkjet printing often requires the use of prefabricated flexible substrates, making it impossible to achieve integrated manufacturing of elastic substrates and conductive structures.
[0005] A novel approach utilizes alternating printing to achieve high-precision, high-efficiency, low-cost, and integrated manufacturing of flexible electronic devices. Existing research proposes a dual-nozzle 3D printing method for manufacturing flexible hybrid electronics and has developed a system comprising key modules such as a 3D motion platform, a computer control module, a material supply module, and a temperature control module. The system's two nozzles respectively print the flexible substrate material PDMS and the conductive silver paste for wiring, and this system has been used to manufacture wireless charging circuits. However, when constructing complex flexible electronic devices with multi-layered 3D circuits, alternating printing requires cumbersome printing parameter design, making it difficult to guarantee high printing accuracy and limiting its practicality.
[0006] In summary, while the aforementioned processes have certain advantages in constructing flexible electronic devices, they still face significant challenges in fabricating complex flexible electronic devices that are personalized, high-precision, functional, and three-dimensional, greatly limiting the application of flexible electronic devices in fields such as flexible sensing and bioelectronic interfaces. Summary of the Invention

These two printing inks can not only be printed in a suspension medium but can also be used as a suspension medium for printing the next stage structure. This is suitable for constructing flexible electronic devices with three-dimensional complex elastomer structures and conductive electrodes, providing a basis for manufacturing functional flexible electronic devices with excellent performance in fields such as flexible energy storage, flexible sensing, bioelectronic interfaces, and soft robotics.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Here, the illustrative embodiments of the present invention and their descriptions are used to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0023] The inventors discovered that levitation printing technology allows for the direct printing of low-viscosity, low-modulus, or slow-curing inks using a levitation medium. For example, silver-based conductive ink can be used to levitation print complex three-dimensional electrode networks within a hydrogel elastomer matrix, creating high-performance flexible electronic devices such as pressure sensors and bioelectronic interfaces. Liquid metal conductive ink can also be used to levitation print within an acrylamide / nanoclay elastomer, utilizing the oxidation of gallium on the liquid metal surface by hydrogen peroxide to create high-performance flexible electronic devices with free-form electrode networks. While these levitation printing processes can construct free-form electrode networks within elastomers, the elastomer structure is determined by the container shape, making it impossible to simultaneously print flexible electronic devices with complex three-dimensional elastomer structures and conductive electrodes, thus preventing integrated printing.
[0024] Therefore, this invention targets flexible electronic devices, especially complex flexible electronic devices. By developing novel biphase elastomer inks and conductive inks, and researching a step-by-step suspension printing technology for various inks, it enables the construction of flexible electronic devices with three-dimensional free-form electrode networks. This provides a basis for manufacturing functional flexible electronic devices with excellent performance in fields such as flexible energy storage, flexible sensing, bioelectronic interfaces, and soft robots.

[0072] Two specific embodiments are given below to illustrate the application of the method proposed in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0073] Example 1: Preparation of PDMS-based biphase elastomer ink and conductive ink
[0074] To thoroughly remove air bubbles from the PDMS precursor material, the PDMS precursor material after bubble removal was mixed with a 3% PVA aqueous solution at a volume ratio of 1:15. The mixture was stirred at high speed at 9000 rpm for 10 minutes, and then transferred to a magnetic stirrer and stirred at 90°C and 1200 rpm for two hours to form a PVA solution containing PDMS microspheres.
[0075] At room temperature, a solution containing PDMS microspheres is subjected to a series of steps including filtration, centrifugation, enrichment, and freeze-drying to remove impurities and liquid water from the PDMS microspheres, resulting in solid PDMS microspheres with a size of 10–25 micrometers, i.e., elastomer microspheres. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of PDMS microspheres in an embodiment of the present invention, wherein, Figure 2 Image A in the middle is a scanning electron microscope image of the microspheres; Figure 2 (B) Statistical analysis of microsphere sizes prepared with different process parameters. Scale bar: 20 μm.
[0076] The prepared elastomer microspheres were mixed with a PDMS precursor solution at a mass ratio of 43:57 to prepare a PDMS-based biphase elastomer ink; the prepared elastomer microspheres were mixed with a graphene oxide solution at a mass ratio of 60:40 to obtain a conductive ink. Rheological tests showed that both the PDMS-based biphase elastomer ink and the conductive ink exhibited good shear thinning and self-healing properties, demonstrating excellent printing performance and supporting levitation printing to construct flexible electronic devices with complex electrode networks. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the rheological properties of PDMS-based biphase elastomer ink and pure PDMS ink in embodiments of the present invention. Figure 3(A) shows that PDMS biphase elastomer ink has shear-thinning properties, while the viscosity of pure PDMS ink is independent of the shear rate; Figure 3 (B) shows that PDMS-based biphase elastomer ink has strain yielding characteristics, while the modulus of pure PDMS ink is independent of the shear strain rate. Figure 3 The image (C) shows that the PDMS-based biphase elastomer ink has self-healing properties, while the pure PDMS ink remains in a liquid state. Figure 4 These are examples of various models printed using PDMS-based biphase elastomer ink in embodiments of the present invention, wherein... Figure 4 Image (A) shows that PDMS-based biphase elastomer ink can be continuously extruded into filaments. Figure 4 Image (B) shows a hemispherical model printed with PDMS-based biphase elastomer ink. Figure 4 Image C shows a cylinder model printed with PDMS-based biphase elastomer ink. Figure 4 Image (D) shows a hemispherical bronchus model printed with PDMS-based biphase elastomer ink.

Figure 5 (A) represents the overall morphology. Figure 5 In the middle, (B), (C), and (D) are partial magnifications of (A), with a scale bar of 100 μm. It can be seen that the PDMS-based biphase elastomer ink is composed of microspheres and another continuous phase material. Figure 6 This invention demonstrates the mechanical properties of structures printed using PDMS-based biphase elastomer ink in an embodiment of the invention. Figure 6 (A) shows the degree of deformation of the cyclic compression structure. Figure 6 Figure (B) shows the stress-strain curves after 500 cycles of compression, demonstrating that the structure printed with PDMS-based biphase elastomer ink has good mechanical properties.
[0077] This invention also proposes a flexible electronic device constructed using a suspension 3D printing method.
[0078] The method proposed in this invention involves preparing a biphase elastomer ink, which is a printing ink with printable properties after rheological modification of an elastomer material; preparing a conductive ink, which is a printing ink made by combining an elastomer material with a conductive carrier; printing the biphase elastomer ink in a suspension medium to construct an insulating encapsulation structure for a flexible electronic device; printing the conductive ink inside the insulating encapsulation structure of the flexible electronic device to construct a three-dimensional free-form electrode network; and after the flexible electronic device containing the three-dimensional free-form electrode network is integrally cross-linked and fixed, dissolving out of the suspension medium to obtain the target flexible electronic device containing three-dimensional free-form electrodes. This invention is based on a biphase elastomer ink with both shear-thinning and self-healing properties and a conductive ink with good printability, high conductivity, and stretchability. These two printing inks can not only be printed in a suspension medium but can also serve as a suspension medium for printing the next stage of the structure. This makes them suitable for constructing flexible electronic devices with three-dimensional complex elastomer structures and conductive electrodes, providing a basis for manufacturing high-performance functional flexible electronic devices in fields such as flexible energy storage, flexible sensing, bioelectronic interfaces, and soft robotics.
