Fabrication and Characterization of a Resistor Made of Carbon Film

Evolution of edible electronics has paved the way for groundbreaking advancements in the realm of electronics, fostering innovations that merge sustainability with functionality. As the field of edible electronics continues to flourish, the integration of biocompatible materials and ingestible designs opens doors to applications in healthcare and beyond. Development of edible LRC (inductance, resistance, capacitance) components further extends this vision, and brings us closer to a more sustainable world with green and renewable electronics that are not harmful to the human body. The research focuses on the fabrication of films incorporating activated carbon aimed to innovate edible electronics. The films were prepared using a blend composed of activated carbon, propylene glycol, and zein. These films, created by combining these materials, are the basis for the production of edible electronic components. The fabrication involved the design of the resistor, its fabrication and comprehensive characterization. Through precise fabrication techniques, these films were tailored to meet the unique requirements of ingestible electronics, showcasing the potential for customizable and biodegradable electronic elements. The findings reveal the viability of edible resistors, offering a promising pathway for sustainable and biodegradable electronic applications, effectively linking technology with environmental sustainability in the electronics domain.
