Transparent conformal polymer antennas for RFID and other wireless communications applications |
摘要 |
An optically transparent conformal polymer antenna and a method for producing the antenna from optically transparent conductive polymers. The method includes selecting an antenna design; providing an optically transparent conductive polymer material capable of being printed using an ink jet printer device; and printing layers of the polymer in the desired antenna design pattern onto a substrate. The surface tension of the polymer solution is adjusted to allow the material to pass through a printer head for printing on a flexible substrate. The material is modified to have a higher conductivity than regular conductive polymer materials so that a suitable antenna may be formed. |

1. A method of producing an optically transparent conformal antenna comprising:
selecting an antenna design to be applied to a substrate; providing an optically transparent conductive polymer material to a printing device, said material having a conductivity exclusive of electrically conductive particles that is at least 5×105 S/m and a surface tension that allows the printing device to eject solution drops having a surface tension between 0.028-0.060 N/m; and printing desired pattern layers of said material onto said substrate according to the antenna design. |
