Transfer Printing for Cyber-Manufacturing Systems

As a versatile tool, transfer printing provides routes to assemble micro- and nano-structures onto functional substrates, with promising applications ranging from stretchable electronics in diagnostic/therapeutic platforms and human-machine interfaces to dissolvable devices in bio-implants and environmentally benign sensors. The conventional process involves pickup of micro-devices from their fabricated substrates, followed by delivery onto the target substrate of interest. This chapter summarizes the fundamental mechanics and materials aspects of transfer printing, as well as recent developments in advanced techniques that allow for applications in systems with varying levels of complexity. The opportunities and challenges on emerging use for cyber-manufacturing systems are also discussed.
