Publication
This data set contains the data collected during the FNS project Green Piezo (Grant no. 179064) in association with the recent publication entitled “Zinc hybrid sintering for printed transient sensors and wireless electronics”. This work aims to study and develop a method for the efficient sintering of printed zinc metal, with the aim to facilitate the fabrication of biodegradable electronics by additive manufacturing. Biodegradable electronic devices have potential in tackling the increasingly pressing challenge of electronic waste, and present opportunities for the fabrication of novel bioresorbable medical devices that can harmlessly degrade in the body and eliminate the need for re-operation. The method that is presented in this publication combines electrochemical and photonic sintering approaches to enable the fabrication of highly-conductive degradable metal tracks. Several sensors are shown as demonstrators (temperature, strain, pressure). The data that was collected in the frame of this work is present in this repository. It relates to both the study of the process introduced above as well as the characterization of the demonstrators. More information about the contents of the dataset is present in the included README files.
