Amphiphilic silver particles for conductive inks with controlled wetting behavior
نویسندگان
چکیده
Silver inks find applications in printed electronics as conductive electrodes. Amphiphilic silver microparticles are prepared by modifying PAA-capped particles with functional amines via an amidation reaction. These modified silver particles can be dispersed in a wide variety of solvents ranging from water (ε 1⁄4 80.4) to lipophilic alcohols (ε 1⁄4 3e17) to yield conductive inks with tunable wettability. Using these inks, we have demonstrated aerosol jet printing of conductive silver patterns (36 mmwide, 1.2 mm thick) on Kapton. Electrical resistivity of 3.7 mU cm is obtained after thermal annealing at 225 C for 5 min. Similar electrical resistivity (3.9 mU cm) is achieved after photonic annealing as short as 1 ms at 1.4 KV. © 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Adhesive and Conductive – Inkjettable nano-filled inks for use in microelectronics and microsystems technology
Current technology, Inkjet is an accepted technology for dispensing small volumes of material (50 – 500 picolitres). Currently traditional metal-filled conductive adhesives cannot be processed by inkjetting (owing to their relatively high viscosity and the size of filler material particles). Smallest droplet size achievable by traditional dispensing techniques is in the range of 150 μm, yieldin...

Results of print trials of different silver-based conducting inks on different paper and paperboard substrates are presented. Printability (based on optical appearance) and electrical properties are analyzed for their dependence on substrate properties. In particular, it was observed that traces printed with solvent-based inks have better print quality compared to water-based inks at higher ani...
