Exploring new additive manufacturing paradigms is essential for the Canadian economy. Printable flexible hybrid electronics is one of these rapidly-emerging sectors. In addition to help train highly-qualified personnel, build international research collaborations and establish fruitful partnerships with the industry, the long-term impact of this research would be to provide novel low-cost and high-performance printable architectures to use as cost-effective alternatives for a wide-range of sensing applications from wearable electronics to IoT and create real value for Canada's industry. In recent years, there was an extraordinary push to develop new and better low-cost and printable optoelectronic platforms for solar-energy harvesting, lighting & displays and sensing applications. Meanwhile, exciting new printable material systems have also gained tremendous momentum in the last 5 years. With this strategic project, our team of internationally-recognized leaders seeks to (1) exploit new printable optoelectronic materials and their unique properties, (2) adapt their standard laboratory-level processing to use cutting-edge commercial-grade printing capabilities, (3) integrate these materials into new fully-printable sensor device architectures and (4) provide a complete, autonomous and fully-printable sensing platform. The massive push for intelligent cyber-physical systems associated with the Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IoT) revolutions aims at informed real-time decision making based on better and readily-acquired sets of data. For biomedical, manufacturing, wearables or general consumer electronic applications, better and cheaper sensor architectures proposed in this project and produced by additive printable electronic manufacturing (APEM) will obviously be at the core of this profound transformation.

探索新的添加剂制造范式对于加拿大经济至关重要。可打印的柔性混合电子电子是这些快速出现的领域之一。除了帮助培训高度合格的人员，建立国际研究合作并与该行业建立富有成果的伙伴关系外，这项研究的长期影响还将提供新颖的低成本和高性能的可打印体系结构来用作成本效益从可穿戴电子到物联网的广泛传感应用程序的替代方案，并为加拿大的行业创造真正的价值。 近年来，有一个非凡的推动力，可以开发新的，更好的低成本和可打印的光电平台，用于太阳能收获，照明和显示和传感应用。同时，令人兴奋的新可打印材料系统在过去5年中也获得了巨大的动力。通过这个战略项目，我们的国际认可领导者团队寻求（1）利用新的可打印光电材料及其独特的特性，（2）调整其标准实验室级别处理以使用最先进的商业级印刷能力，（3 3）（3 ）将这些材料集成到新的完全可打印的传感器设备体系结构中，（4）提供一个完整的，自主和全印刷的传感平台。 与行业4.0和物联网（IoT）革命相关的智能网络物理系统的大规模推动旨在根据更好且易于获得的数据集的实时决策来了解实时决策。对于生物医学，制造，可穿戴设备或一般消费电子应用，该项目中提出的更好，更便宜的传感器体系结构，并由加性可打印电子制造（APEM）生产，显然将是这种深刻转变的核心。
