Ultrasonic measurements of surface defects on flexible circuits using high-frequency focused polymer transducers
Wagle, Sanat; Habib, Anowarul; Melandsø, Frank (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-06-12)High frequency transducers made from a layer-by-layer deposition method are investigated as transducers for ultrasonic imaging. Prototypes of adhesive-free transducers with four active elements were made on a high performance PEI (Polyetherimide) substrate with precision milled spherical cavities used to produce focused ultrasonic beams. The transducer prototypes ... -
Ultrasonic properties of all-printed piezoelectric polymer transducers
Wagle, Sanat; Decharat, Adit; Melandsø, Frank (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)The ability of producing ultrasonic transducers from screen-printing has been explored experimentally, through printing and characterization of a large number of transducers. In an allprinted test design, 124 transducers with four different electrode sizes ranging from 1 to 4.9 mm2, were printed layer-by-layer on a high performance polyethyleneimine polymer. Inks from ferroelectric and conductive ... -
Using Silver Nano-Particle Ink in Electrode Fabrication of High Frequency Copolymer Ultrasonic Transducers: Modeling and Experimental Investigation
Decharat, Adit; Wagle, Sanat; Jacobsen, Svein Ketil; Melandsø, Frank (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-04-20)High frequency polymer-based ultrasonic transducers are produced with electrodes thicknesses typical for printed electrodes obtained from silver (Ag) nano-particle inks. An analytical three-port network is used to study the acoustic effects imposed by a thick electrode in a typical layered transducer configuration. Results from the network model are compared to experimental findings for the implemented ...
