Paper electronics could make health care more accessible
Flexible electronic sensors based on paper have the potential to
cut the price of a wide range of medical tools, from helpful robots
to diagnostic tests. Scientists have now developed a fast, lowcost way of making these sensors by directly printing conductive
ink on paper. The researchers developed a system for printing a
pattern of silver ink on paper within a few minutes and then
hardening it with the light of a camera flash. The resulting device
responded to touch even when curved, folded 15 times, and rolled

and unrolled 5,000 times. The team concluded their durable,
lightweight sensor could serve as the basis for many useful
applications.
Researchers develop heat-conducting plastic
The spaghetti-like internal structure of most plastics makes it hard
for them to cast away heat, but a Univ. of Michigan research team
has made a plastic blend that does so 10 times better than its
conventional counterparts. Plastics are inexpensive, lightweight
and flexible, but because they restrict the flow of heat, their use
is limited in technologies like computers, smartphones, cars or
airplanes. The new work could lead to light, versatile, metalreplacement materials that make possible more powerful
electronics or more efficient vehicle. The new material results
from one of the first attempts to engineer the flow of heat in an
amorphous polymer.
Shaping the future of energy storage with conductive clay
Materials scientists have invented clay, which is both highly
conductive and can easily be molded into a variety of shapes and
sizes. It represents a turn away from the rather complicated and
costly processing -- currently used to make materials for lithiumion batteries and supercapacitors -- and toward one that looks a
bit like rolling out cookie dough with results that are even sweeter
from an energy storage standpoint.
New Material for Solar Cells and Flexible Electronics
Physicists at the University of Kansas have fabricated an
innovative substance from two different atomic sheets that
interlock much like Lego toy bricks. The researchers said the new
material--made of a layer of graphene and a layer of tungsten
disulfide--could be used in solar cells and flexible electronics.
Researchers created the new material with the aim of developing
novel materials for efficient solar cells.

About Journal of Electronic Packaging
Editor, Y. C. Lee,
University of Colorado Boulder
JEP Home Page, Editorial Board.
The Journal of Electronic Packaging publishes papers that address 1) thermal management, applied
mechanics and technologies for microsystems packaging; 2) critical issues in systems integration;
3) emerging packaging technologies and materials with micro/nano structures; and 4) general small
scale systems. The journal is to serve researchers and engineers working in academic and
industrial settings. Originality, scientific merit and high engineering relevance are the major criteria
for the acceptance of a submitted paper. In addition, leaders in the field are invited to publish review
4
articles on hot, emerging and fundamental topics. See letter from editors for the transition. Send an
email to [email protected] for any feedback or comments.
