Laser-induced graphene enables greener, flexible hybrid circuit manufacturing

Breakthrough in flexible printed circuit boards: Laser-induced graphene enables sustainable hybrid circuit manufacturing
The process flow for creating Cu-LIG FHEs. Starting from top-left and clockwise to the right: creating a mixture of Pd and SU-8, spin-coating onto a polyimide film and drying, forming LIG from the Pd/SU-8 ink on a polyimide substrate and finally, electroless-copper plating to form conductive circuit elements.
