Investigation on graphene/Ag nano-particles composite ink for flexible electronics

Pressure Sensors Painted on Flexible Cellulose Substrates from Polyaniline-Based Conductive Ink

“…15,16 However, high cost, high sintering temperature, 17 and silver migration are some serious problems affecting the reliability of tracks marked with silver nanoparticle ink and have attracted wide attention. 18 Hence, there is still a need for developing new types of conductive ink to resolve these issues. In this light, an effort has been made in our laboratory to advance a conducting ink based on polymers because polymers have a long-range carrier translation network and offer the possibility of incredible control over its electrical and optical properties.…”

“…The recent boom in wearable smart devices , has created an enormous demand for stretchable and flexible electronics due to its potential for the development of flexible displays, sensors, and many more applications. − Consequently, electronic materials deposited on substrates such as paper, plastic packages, textiles, , and polymeric substrates have attracted wide interest as a pathway to fabricate flexible electronic devices. , As a result, lucrative ideas are being disbursed to develop functional materials and implant them on flexible substrates. Conducting inks are one of the most promising, easy-to-use materials that can be embedded into flexible substrates to fabricate flexible electronic devices. − Silver nanoparticle ink is the most widely used conductive ink today as it possesses excellent anti-oxidant characteristics and good electrical conductivity. , However, high cost, high sintering temperature, and silver migration are some serious problems affecting the reliability of tracks marked with silver nanoparticle ink and have attracted wide attention . Hence, there is still a need for developing new types of conductive ink to resolve these issues.…”
