Development of Thermoelectric Conversion Devices Manufactured by way of Printing
Group of Japanese researchers at AIST have developed a novel fabrication technology for printing thermoelectric conversion devices onto flexible substrates such as plastic films and papers. The new technology provides a high flexibility to the thermoelectric conversion devices allowing them to be installed taking the form of the objects that are being installed on. In addition to this the printing technology would provide a cost reduction in the manufacturing process. The printable composite material was made by way of dispersing carbon material into a resin matrix at a nanometer level. Read more
