A Miniaturized Flexible Antenna Printed on a High Dielectric Constant Nanopaper Composite

A high-dielectric-constant and flexible cellulose nanopaper composite is prepared by mixing a small amount of silver nanowires with cellulose nanofibers. The nanopaper antenna is downsized by about a half when using the nanopaper substrate. The nanopaper antenna has potential in wearable wireless communication devices.
