ABSTRACT
Integrating electronic applications with paper, placed next to or below printed images or graphics, can further expand the possible uses of paper substrates. Consuming paper as a substrate in the field of electronics can lead to significant innovations toward papertronics applications as paper comprises various advantages like being disposable, inexpensive, biodegradable, easy to handle, simple to use, and easily available. All of these advantages will definitely spur the advancement of the electronics field, but unfortunately, putting electronics on paper is not an easy task because, compared to plastics, the paper surface is not just rough but also porous. For example, in the case of lateral flow assay testing the sensor response is delayed if the pore size of the paper is enormous. This might be a disadvantage for most electrical devices printed directly on paper. Still, some methods make it compatible when fit with a rough, absorbent surface of the paper. Building electronic devices on a standard paper substrate have sparked much interest because of its lightweight, environmental friendliness, minimal cost, and simple fabrication. A slew of improvements have been achieved in recent years to make paper electronics perform better in various applications, including transistors, batteries, and displays. In addition, flexible electronics have gained much interest in human-machine interaction and wireless sensing. This review briefly examines the origins and fabrication of paper electronics and then moves on to applications and exciting possible paths for paper-based electronics.
