Download or read book Influence of strain on the functionality of ink-jet printed thin films and devices on flexible substrates written by Mishra, Nilesha and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2019-02-15 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ink-jet printed devices on the flexible substrate are inexpensive and large area compatible as compared to rigid substrates. However, during fabrication and service they are subjected to complex strains, resulting in crack formation or delamination within the layers, affecting the device performance. Therefore, it is necessary to understand their failure mechanisms by correlating their electrical or structural properties with applied strain, supported by detailed microstructural investigations.
