Resistive Heating for Inducing Localized Crystal Growth in Organic Thin Film Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Rubrene thin films are promising for organic optoelectronics due to high hole mobility. However, uncontrolled crystallization and grain boundaries from standard thermal processing hinder lateral device scalability. This work presents femtosecond‐laser micromachining and patterned resistive heating to induce localized, deterministic crystallization ...

Photothermomechanically Efficient, Low‐Cost, High‐Cycle‐Life, Hybrid MXene‐Polymer Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The addition of MXenes to elastomer‐plastic‐paper films enables the creation of easily prepared actuators that are scalable for small robotic applications. Known as MXene‐polymer Trilayer Actuators (MPTAs), they bend from UV light. Their usefulness is demonstrated through kirigami‐inspired flower‐shaped art design, parallel manipulator for waveguiding,

Laser Micromachining of Liquid Metal Patterns for Stretchable Electronic Circuits

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A cleanroom‐free fabrication strategy combines UV‐laser micromachining with a copper foil wetting layer to rapidly produce high resolution, liquid metal based stretchable electronic circuits on diverse substrates. The scalable, maskless process enables complex circuit designs (<$<$3 h, ∼$\sim$15/device) with excellent electrical stability under strain,
