Final Report: Seed Fund “ReCIPE” – Metadata and Provenance tracking for Conductive Inks in Printed Electronics
While experimental data and methods are commonly reported as “best outcome” figure of merits, the systematic process parameters (while being crucial for achieved outcome, in particular in combination and chains of different process steps) are often neglected or buried in hard-to-access lab books and similar sources. This complicates and prolongs process optimization, especially when different printing and post-processing steps need to be combined for a specific application. The project ReCIPE aimed at setting up a tool for researchers and users of printed electronics that can grow into a broad open database on process parameters and connected outcomes for the wider academic and industry-based community.
