Micropatterning of Graphene Sheets by Inkjet Printing and Its Wideband Dipole‐Antenna Application

PURPOSE: A graphene sheet using inkjet printing and a wideband dipole antenna application are provided to minimize the loss of raw material and time. CONSTITUTION: Waterborne graphene oxide nano particle solution is manufactured and is used for conductive ink of inkjet printing. The chemical characteristic of the waterborne graphene oxide nano particle solution is changed in order to form a detailed pattern on a supporting material. The waterborne graphene oxide nano particle solution is injected to a printer head, and an oxide graphene thin film is formed. The supporting material including the oxide graphene thin film is located in a vapor deposition reactor, and an oxidation-reduction reaction is executed. A graphene sheet based broadband dipole antenna electrode is connected to an antenna analysis device, and the performance of the antenna is measured.
