The purpose of this paper is to present the result of research on a new fabrication technology of printed circuits board and electronics modules. The new method is based on inkjet printing technique on flexible substrates using new generations of heterophase inks. New fabrications method was used to print microwave waveguides and signal splitters as new technology demonstrators.

A fully Inkjet printed filter was printed on a flexible, transparent Kapton foil using heterophase inks developed in Instytut Technologii Materiałów Elektronicznych (ITME) for the purpose of this research based on graphene and silver nanoparticles.

A microwave module was printed using two types of Inkjet printers – PixDro LP50 with KonicaMinolta 512 printhead – and developed in an Instytut Tele- i Radiotechniczny (ITR) laboratory printer using MicroDrop a 100-μm glass nozzle printhead. Fully printed microwave circuits were evaluated by their print quality and electrical properties.

Fully Inkjet printed microwave circuits using the heterophase graphene ink were evaluated by their print quality and electrical properties.

The purpose of this paper is to present thermal properties of palladium-carbon films prepared by physical vapour deposition (PVD)/chemical vapour deposition (CVD) methods.

Thin palladium-carbon films were prepared at Tele- and Radioresearch Institute. Test structures containing palladium-carbon films and titanium electrodes were made. Temperature-resistance characteristics were measured.

The results show strong temperature dependence of modified carbon film resistance. The dependence is stable, and so modified carbon films can be applied for various electronic applications.

The paper presents thermal properties of thin palladium-carbon prepared by original PVD/CVD method at Tele- and Radioresearch Institute.

The paper aims to present the research results related to transparent heating elements made from carbon nanomaterials. Heating elements were fabricated only with cost-effective techniques with the aim to be easily implemented in large area applications. Presented materials and methods are an interesting alternative to vacuum deposition of transparent resistive layers and etching of low-resistive patterns. Fabricated heating elements were designed to be used as de-icing structures in roof-top windows.

Presented materials and methods are an interesting alternative to vacuum deposition of transparent resistive layers and etching of low-resistive patterns. Fabricated heating elements were designed to be used as de-icing structures in roof-top windows.

The sheet resistance of obtained layers was between 9 and 11 kΩ/□; however, double-walled carbon nanotubes showed significantly higher optical transmission (around 70 per cent) than graphene nanoplatelets (around 55 per cent for visible and near infrared range). The amount of polymer resin had the influence on the paints stability, electrical properties and coatings adhesion.

Results show a novel method of fabrication of a large area and transparent heating elements with tunable resistance done through the change of spray coating paint composition.
