ナノセルロースと電子材料の融合によるグリーン・ペーパーエレクトロニクスの創出

抄録

The rapid increase in the global usage of consumer electronic products has accelerated the consumption of non-renewable resources and generated excessive electronic waste (e-waste). E-waste threatens human health and the environment, particularly in developing countries. Accordingly, the need to develop green electronic devices that originate from natural resources and are human and environmentally friendly has increased. Wood-derived nanocellulose paper has recently received considerable attention as a promising substrate for green electronics because of its renewability and biodegradability. In this study, we investigate green paper electronics based on nanocellulose paper while considering transparent conductive and electronic paper as well as nonvolatile paper memory and paper sensors. These paper electronic devices provide high device performance as well as excellent flexibility, biodegradability, and disposability, thus opening new doors for future green electronics.
