As a natural dielectric material,paper is used for a substrate or gate dielectric of FETs,and tunnel barriers of [Link] interiors of electronic
devices consist of a printed circuit board(PCB) with embedded electronic [Link] which consist of a flat sheet of insulating material and
layersof copper foil,are used to mechanical support and electrically connect electrical [Link] based PCB has been fabricated using
conventional paper as shown in fig 1.1demonstrating comparable function to the current available organic-PCB (O-PCBs).Cellulose fibers are also used
as a dielectric layer for FETs. FETs consist of the body; the gate dielectric; and three terminals: source (S), gate (G), and drain (D), as shown in Figure
[Link] flow between the drain and the source is controlled by the applied voltage at the gate. The body is typically a bulk semiconductor which
supports the other components. The gate dielectric is the layer that separates the gate from the source and the drain. As cellulose fiber complex, or
paper, is a great dielectric material, FETs have been demonstrated on diverse paper substrates Paper, in its manufactured form, has various types,
including cotton paper, photo paper, fine paper, packing paper, and [Link] of the first reports of FETs on paper used opaque paper substrates, as
shown in Figure c. In this early work, OTFTs were fabricated on a hot-pressed cottonfiber paper, showing carrier mobility of 0.2 cm2 V−1 s. The
carrier mobility was increased to

heatsensitive substrate. Transistors have also been demonstratedwith transparent paper. Huang et al. reported the development of flexible organic FETs

stability.

One of the common methods to create a conductive component for paper-based electronics is to deposit component for paper-based electronics is to
deposit conductive material. In this case, the surface roughness of the paper substrate is crucial, as the rough surface leads to high resistance. To avoid
having numerous air voids in typical paper, polymer-based coatings are often used; however, polymers are easily damaged by heat and their use often
results in discoloration issues as well. In 2013, Hsieh et al. reported highly conductive circuits fabricated directly on nanopapersFig 1.2 shows a silver
metallo–organic decomposition line on a nanopaper. Hsieh et al. successfully showed that sputtered gold and printed silver nanoparticles maintained
log resistance of less than 0.4 Ω−1 . In addition to the high conductivity, retaining electrical conductivity after multiple folding events is important to
realize truly foldable flexible electronic circuits. In 2015, Cataldi et al. reported a protocol to create a foldable conductive paper-like material by
impregnating a composite of starch-based biopolymer and graphene nanoplatelets into meltblown nonwoven cellulose fiber fleece substrates.[74] This
material reported excellent isotropic electrical conductivity, reaching a very low sheet resistance value of 10 Ω sq−1 . This conductive paper-like
material was also shown to function even after squashing and severe deformation 1.2 Much previous research in printed electronics has relied on the
method of creating a conductive layer by direct printing, sputtering, or spray deposition. However, this method often suffers from the incompatibility
between the substrate and theconductive layer, such as the swelling ratio difference. Recently, Hajian et al. developed a process that monolithically
integrated electronic structures and cellulose nanopaper by co-dispersing cellulose nanofibers with functional nanomaterials, as shown in Figure 1.2 c

filter paper to form a freestanding patterned structure. As a result, the conductive layers are highly resilient to folding as well as hygroexpansion.
Composites of cellulose and conducting polymers are another method to achieve electrically conductive papers. Cellulose-PANI composites have
recently been widely studied owing to their great electrical conductivity and mechanical properties. Hu et al. have demonstrated an electrically
conductive BC-PANI nanocomposite paper by chemically grafting PANI onto BC modified with epoxy[45] (Figure 23d). It was also shown that the
electrical conductivity of PANI-BC composite is highly sensitive to the twisted angle of the sheet, implying its great feasibility of using in strain
sensors. Indeed, such strain-sensitive characteristics. of cellulose-based conducting materials are widely adopted for human motion sensors and
wearable devices,
