One-step fabrication of highly conductive and durable copper paste an d its flexible dipole tag-antenna application

Platinum-decorated reduced graphene oxide/polyaniline:poly(4-styrenesulfonate) hybrid paste for flexible dipole tag-antenna applications.

With recent developments in technology, tremendous effort has been devoted to producing materials for flexible device systems. As a promising approach, solution-processed conducting polymers (CPs) have been extensively studied owing to their facile synthesis, high electrical conductivity, and various morphologies with diverse substrates. Here, we report the demonstration of platinum decorated r...

A Cost-Effective Antenna Design for Printed UHF RFID

In this paper, the printed UHF RFID tag dipole antenna design is optimized to reduce the consumption of conductive material. The optimized design is achieved by narrowing the width of the low current density areas. The proposed optimized dipole antenna design requires less amount of conductive ink to achieve the equivalent radiation efficiency level as the ideal copper-trace dipole antenna. The...
