CHAPTER 1. GENERAL INTRODUCTION
1.4 Dissertation Organization
This dissertation starts with a comprehensive introduction for the recent development of transient electronics. Following sections introduce our work on understanding the
underlying mechanism of transiency achieved by swelling induced disintegrations and its associated applications. Interfacial stress and fracture for transient electronics with swelling substrate are investigated and presented. A transient battery based swelling induced
transiency is then introduced as an example of application. Subsequent section presented an example of all-organic transient electronics that could be applied as epidermal sensor. Final section outlines a general conclusion and suggestions for future work.
Chapter 1 provides the background information on transient electronics. Moreover, a comprehensive review of the existing researches and literatures are provided to lay a
foundation for the research presented in this dissertation.
Chapter 2 reports a fundamental study of interfacial stress in physically transient layered structures. In this work the interfacial interactions of a particular case of polymeric substrate with lithium titanate electrode coating layer was presented. Swelling-induced stress as a function of electrode thickness was studied; the analytical data and simulations were verified by experimental results.
Chapter 3 complements chapter 2. This chapter reports our investigation on the interfacial bond failure and fracture in transient soft layered structures due to the swell-induced interfacial stress.
Chapter 4 presents mechanics of interfacial bonding in dissimilar soft transient materials and electronics. Soft transient electronics of polymeric substrates and silver-ink electronics are studied for correlated mechanical-electrical properties.
Chapter 5 presents our studies on transient lithium-ion battery. The transiency of the battery is achieved by a physical–chemical hybrid mechanism: water-soluble substrate (chemically) and swelling induced fracture (physically) reported in chapter 3.
Chapter 6 presents development of a soft transient all-organic electronics fabricated with electrohydrodynamic jet printing technique.
Chapter 7 presents the general conclusions and future works.
