“…As new applications of printing inks are envisaged, increasing numbers of pigments are employed as functional materials in inks [1][2]. These functional pigments impart different functionalities to printing inks, including electrical conductivity [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11], magnetism [12][13][14], and so on. To produce printing inks that possess electrical functionality, metals such as gold, silver, copper and nickel can be used [15][16][17][18].…”
