University of Cambridge researchers have developed a new production method for graphene circuits using inkjet printers.
The new methods would allow for high speed processing of printed circuits that can handle faster processing speeds. The process works by mixing graphene with a chemical, and filtering it to remove bits that may block inkjets. The team believe the method will open the door for circuits on thin-film polymers which could be used in security tags or product packaging, reports the TechEye website.
The research is still in its early stages, but the team are already in contact with potential partners, and hope to release prototype circuits in the future.
