Accelerating Progress for Advanced Manufacturing: Enabling Technologies, Barriers, Infrastructure, and Partnership Models for Roll-to-Roll Nanofabrication

摘要

Flexible and printed electronics technologies have advanced to the stage where inexpensively printing high performance devices on continuous rolls of polymer-based substrates now promises to revolutionize advanced manufacturing. The recently published report from the NIST-NNN Workshop on Nanofabrication Technologies for Roll-to-Roll Processing, an Academic-Industry Workshop on Technologies for American Manufacturing Competitiveness, identifies and discusses progress and challenges for successful merging of nanofabrication technologies into advanced device manufacturing. The workshop further included discussions of general parameters for a multi-year technology roadmap to guide and accelerate progress in roll-to-roll (R2R) processing of nanoscale devices. \ud\udAlso included: Chipping Away at Cancer, RTI International Launches Comprehensive Online Nanomaterial Registry, and Greener Nano 2012: Nanoinformatics Tools and Resources Workshop
