A simple and versatile method of the phase transfer of nanoparticles from aqueous to organic media using charged polymer colloids as carriers is proposed.
Abstract. The work is aimed to solve the problem of developing functional silver nano-ink applied in ink-jet technology in printed flexible electronics, as well as to demonstrate printing results and their discussion. The development of functional compounds for printing is a fundamentally new approach to the production of flexible electronic devices for the military and civil industry. As a part of the work special attention is paid to the preparation of aqueous and organic dispersions of silver nanoparticles, the study of the various factors which affect the size and characteristics of the nanoparticles, methods of concentrating the standard dispersions to obtain nano-ink, printing the conductive structures by synthesized nano-ink and research of the printed elements' properties. These results give an opportunity to develop silver nano-ink and adapt it for printing on various substrates (including flexible polymeric ones) by specialized equipment.
