  • Screen printing and UV-curable pasting were used to prepare the wound dressing surface for inkjet printing.
  • Silver conductive films were deposited onto the wound dressing using optimized inkjet printing parameters.
  • Material properties (relative permittivity, loss tangent) were determined using the transmission line method.
  • A quasi-Yagi antenna was designed, fabricated, and tested for its bandwidth, gain, radiation efficiency, and bending effects.

    • Main Results:

    • Optimized inkjet printing yielded silver films with a thickness of 3.15 μm and conductivity of 1.05 × 10^7 S/m.
    • The fabricated quasi-Yagi antenna exhibited a bandwidth of 3.2–4.6 GHz, a maximal gain of 0.67 dBi, and 42% radiation efficiency.
    • Antenna gain decreased under bending stress, but radiation pattern directivity remained consistent.
    • Insertion losses for microstrip transmission lines were -2.9 dB and -2.1 dB at resonant frequencies.

    Conclusions:

    • Inkjet printing is a feasible, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly method for fabricating antennas on wound dressings.
    • The developed wound-dressing antenna shows potential for integration into smart bandages for remote health monitoring.
    • This technology can be combined with sensing capabilities for comprehensive assessment of chronic wound status and basic physical conditions.
