Abstract:
Circuit boards having a polymer substrate, a first electrode and a second electrode disposed on a surface of the polymer substrate, and at least one nanostructure electrically connected to the first and second electrodes are generally disclosed.
Abstract:
An exemplary implementation of the present disclosure includes a programmable interposer having top and bottom interface electrodes and conductive particles interspersed within the programmable interposer. The conductive particles are capable of forming an aligned configuration between the top and bottom interface electrodes in response to application of an energy field to the programmable interposer so as to electrically connect the top and bottom interface electrodes. The conductive particles can have a conductive outer surface. Also, the conductive particles can be spherical. The conductive particles can be within a bulk material in an interface layer in the programmable interposer, and the bulk material can be cured to secure programmed paths between the top and bottom interface electrodes.

An article comprising a conductive film comprising conductive structures, and a first resistive element patterned into a first portion of the conductive film. In at least some cases, the conductive structures may comprise nanostructures, such as, for example, nanowires. Silver nanowires are exemplary conductive structures. In some useful applications, the first resistive element may be part of a circuit, such as, for example, a Wheatstone bridge.
Abstract:
A method for making a touch panel is provided. A number of first transparent conductive layers are formed on an insulative substrate. Each of the first transparent conductive layers is resistance anisotropy. A number of adhesive layers are formed on the insulative substrate with each to cover only part of one of the first transparent conductive layers. A carbon nanotube layer is formed on the number of adhesive layers. The carbon nanotube layer is patterned to obtain a number of second transparent conductive layers spaced from each other and with each corresponding to one first transparent conductive layer. A number of first electrodes, a first conductive trace, a number of second electrodes, and a second conductive trace are formed contemporaneously.

The conductive interconnected nano-structure film may include a first region and a second region adjacent to the first region. A conductivity of the first region may be at least 1000 times a conductivity of the second region.

Abstract:
A method of producing a conductive path on a substrate including depositing on the substrate a layer of material having a thickness in the range of 0.1 to 5 microns, including metal particles having a diameter in the range of 10 to 100 nanometers, employing a patterning laser beam to selectably sinter regions of the layer of material, thereby causing the metal particles to together define a conductor at sintered regions and employing an ablating laser beam, below a threshold at which the sintered regions would be ablated, to ablate portions of the layer of material other than at the sintered regions.
Abstract:
An apparatus, system, and/or method are described to enable optically transparent reconfigurable integrated electrical components, such as antennas and RF circuits to be integrated into an optically transparent host platform, such as glass. In one embodiment, an Ag NW film may be configured as a transparent conductor for antennas and/or as interconnects for passive circuit components, such as capacitors or resistors. Ag NW may also be used as transmission lines and/or interconnect overlays for devices. A graphene film may also be configured as active channel material for making active RF devices, such as amplifiers and switches.
