This book discusses the functional ink systems of graphene and related two-dimensional (2D)
layered materials in the context of their formulation and potential for various applications
including in electronics optoelectronics energy sensing and composites using conventional
graphics and 3D printing technologies. The authors explore the economic landscape of 2D
materials and introduce readers to fundamental properties and production technologies. They
also discuss major graphics printing technologies and conventional commercial printing
processes that can be used for printing 2D material inks as well as their specific strengths
and weaknesses as manufacturing platforms. Special attention is also paid to scalable
production methods for ink formulation making this an ideal book for students and researchers
in academia or industry who work with functional graphene and other 2D material ink systems
and their applications. Explains the state-of-the-art 2D material production technologies that
can be manufactured at the industrial scale for functional ink formulation Provides starting
formulation examples of 2D material functional inks for specific printing methods and their
characterization techniques Reviews existing demonstrations of applications related to printed
2D materials and provides possible future development directions while highlighting current
knowledge gaps Gives a snapshot and forecast of the commercial market for printed GRMs based
on the current state of technologies and existing patents.
