The produced devices are precisely defined on a bare polyimide substrate without the need of photomasks by employing a computer numerical control (CNC) driven laser diode. The electrical properties of the LIG-based heaters can be tailored by adjusting the laser power. The resulting conductive material exhibits electrical and chemical properties which are similar to the ones for graphene such as a negative temperature coefficient of −0.46 m°C−1 and a maximum operating temperature of around 400 °C. The developed heaters can outperform the existing emerging technologies showing a very rapid and stable response up to 225 °C with the extra features of flexibility, biocompatibility, and environmental friendliness.}, keywords = {CNC laser}, keywords = {Flexible}, keywords = {Graphene film heater}, keywords = {Laser-induced graphene}, keywords = {Laser ablation}, keywords = {Micro-hotplate}, keywords = {Polyimide}, title = {Flexible and robust laser-induced graphene heaters photothermally scribed on bare polyimide substrates}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.carbon.2018.12.010}, author = {Bobinger, Marco and Romero Maldonado, Francisco Javier and Salinas Castillo, Alfonso and Becherer, Markus and Lugli, Paolo and Morales Santos, Diego Pedro and Rodríguez Santiago, Noel and Rivadeneyra Torres, Almudena}, }
