Carbon nanotube printing

Toray Industries has created a printing technology to form semiconductors circuits on flexible films using semi-conductive carbon nanotube composites.

The technology could be used in ultra-high frequency radio frequency identification (UHF RFID) products, the company said.

While it is possible to develop new materials and coating techniques to form semiconductor circuits on films, it has been challenging to improve mobility. Toray overcame this challenge in 2020 by attaining a world record mobility of 182 cm2/Vs for a printing with its proprietary semi-conductive carbon nanotube composite technology.
