Paper-based metamaterial is one kind of metamaterial based on the paper substrate, drawing a lot of attention due to its fascinating features recently. This paper proposes another fabrication solution to realize paper-based metamaterials by directly drawing instead of inkjet printing. The drawing tools we used include mechanical pencils, conductive ink pens, and a computer-controlled drawing machine. Three types of paper-based metamaterials—polarization converter, absorber, and conformal coding metasurface—have been fabricated by the drawing technique. The performances...
