Tianjin University Professor Successfully Developed A New Flexible Electronic Printing For Pacemakers Without Surgery

On September 26, the reporter learned from College of Precision Instruments and Optoelectronics Engineering of Tianjin University that the team of Professor Huang Xian of the college successfully developed the "water sintering" flexible electronic printing technology. This technology can be used to produce low-cost, environmentally-friendly, bioabsorbable flexible electronic components that can make breakthroughs in the production of flexible electronic materials.

According to Huang Xian, using new flexible electronic printing technology, the cost of producing flexible electronic components can be reduced to one percent of the existing cost without purchasing expensive sintering equipment.

Huang Xian believes that flexible materials have been used in China, including the earliest flexible solar cells and mobile phones, smart wear and so on. In recent years, flexible displays have received more attention from the market.

In addition, this new technology has broad prospects in the biomedical field and can be applied to the production of implantable medical devices, including pacemakers, continuous blood glucose monitors, nerve electrodes and other electronic devices. The electronic device produced by this technology does not need to be operated in the future when implanted into a human body, and the electronic device can be dissolved in the body without being taken out and dissolved in the body.

However, Huang Xian said that the technology is still in the research stage and has not yet entered the clinic. Huang Xian plans to use this method to produce implantable medical devices for clinical trials.

Huang Xian said that new technologies can also be used to reduce e-waste. After using this technology to make a mobile phone circuit, if you want to change the mobile phone, you can recycle the mobile phone chip by putting the circuit board into the water, so that it will not cause harmful substances to the environment, and increase the speed and efficiency. Recovery efficiency.
