FerroTag: When Inkables Meet Wireless Signals
Pages 35 - 38
Abstract
Inkjet printed technologies is a type of computer printing that recreates a digital design by propelling droplets of ink onto paper substrates. It is considered a transformative innovation that democratizes the paper-based product fabrication accessible by individual entrants. In recent years, novel functional inks (e.g, nanoparticles-based inks [1]) with consumer inkjet printers enable a more disruptive potential for fabricating low-cost inkable electronics, also known as inkables. Compared with traditional electronics [2], inkables are eco-compatible and easy to use. It is predicted that the market for inkable sensors will reach $4.5 billion by 2030 [3].
