Title: Inkjet-/3D-Printed Nanotechnology-enabled Wireless Communication, Sensing and RFID Modules for Internet of Things, “Smart Skin” and “Zero-Power” Applications Manos Tentzeris, Professor in ECE, Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta, Georgia, USA Abstract Nanotechnology and Inkjet-/3D-printed flexible electronics and sensors fabricated on paper , plastic and other polymer substrates as well as silicon wafers are introduced as a sustainable ultra-low-cost solution for the first real-world paradigms of Internet of Things, “Smart Skins” and “Zero-Power” applications. The talk will cover examples from HF/UHF RFID’s up to the millimeter-wave frequency ranges (mmID’s), while it willl include the state of the art of fully-integrated wireless sensor modules on paper or flexible polymers and show the first

Title: Printed Electronics and RFID Dr. Gaozhi (George) Xiao Senior Research Officer Institute for Microstructural Science National Research Council Canada Abstract: Printed electronics is using the printing techniques, such as flexography, gravure, inkjet, offset lithography and screen printing, to create electronic devices. It is an emerging technology and can be used to fabricate simple and low cost devices on any solid substrates such as paper, plastic, rubber, fabrics and etc. This makes printed electronics ideal for the fabrication of RFID inlays, and devices for wearable, IOT and disposable medical diagnosis applications. This presentation begins with the introduction of the printed electronics technology, its advantages and disadvantages and its major applications.
