Outline:Conductive inks are widely investigated area in the recent years due to its popularity in printed electronics (PE), flexible electronics (FE) and it comprises specific and unique applications which belong to a whole next level of future technology. In this context, silver is being acutely researched material for its encouraging application in conductive inks. In printing technology silver conductive inks has major role in electronic applications. The emerging integration of different technologies was silver nanoinks. In recent years printed electronics market is being dominated by expensive materials such as gold, platinum etc.which are costly/complex instruments, to overcome these drawbacks silver conductive inks can relieve the current technology. The present printed circuit boards (PCBs) manufactures use complex and expensive techniques to fabricate the circuit boards which in turn levitates the overall cost. Solvent based silver conductive inks are capable to substitute the PCB technology while reducing the cost of manufacturing. Due to its stellar reputation, investors are looking forward to apply this technology in printed electronics industries.2 planet. Silver conductive inks have silver in its nanoform which is an extensively engaging the nanotechnology.Silver in the nanometer range has predominantly occupied the interest of researchers since the beginning of the nanotechnology era. Silver was and is considered a prominent material;and even historically silver has its own importance. This novel material has been prospering in its applications ever since researchers focused on its study in the nanoscale. This led to a promising application in many fields of science and technology. The properties which make silver notable are that it is rare, strong, corrosion resistant, and unaffected by moisture. Silver is also resonant, moldable, malleable, and possesses the highest thermal and electric conductivity of any substance. Silver is one of the strongest oxidants, it is an essential catalyst for chemical process industry.Metal nanoparticles act as a key element in conductive inks. In nano range, silver has gained so much prominence that it does not require any special introduction about its enhanced properties possessed in the nanometer range. Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have been synthesized using different types of approaches and each type of synthesis has its own advantages and disadvantages. Silver has unique and enhanced properties in the nanometer range by possessing highest electrical conductivity per unit volume when compared to any other metal, so it is expected to be used extensively in printed electronics technology. In this review we try to bring out the possible ways which were successful in synthesis of conductive ink derived from silver nanomaterial. This work is an attempt to understand the significance of silver based conductive inks and motivate researchers who opt to bring a change in future electronics. We focussed this review in gathering a brief preface of all the possible metho...

A flexible flat micro-Fluxgate sensor with amorphous rectangular core, fabricated using a simple printing technique is presented. All materials were selected to facilitate the fabrication process and to achieve optimal sensor performance. The device's response to an externally applied magnetic field has been studied. The linear measuring range of the sensor is approximately ±40 μT with a linearity error of <2% FS at 100 kHz excitation frequency, allowing the measurement of the terrestrial magnetic field. Experimental results demonstrate that the behaviour of the fabricated device corresponds to the behaviour of a Fluxgate sensor with high sensitivity.

“…In the case of metals, gold (Au), silver (Ag), and copper (Cu) in the thin film state are used as conductive matters, because the thick films are opaque by high reflection. Synthetic metals of carbon nanotubes [6] and poly(thiophene) derivatives [7] are used as other conductive matters.…”

We demonstrated that thin porous Au films showing semi-transparency in the region of visible light and electric conductivity were prepared by spincoating an -terpineol ink containing decanethiol-passivated Au nanoparticles onto silica and silicon substrates modified with 3-mercaptopropyltriethoxysilane and subsequent annealing for sintering the Au nanoparticles. A thin film of the -terpineol ink was transformed to droplets on unmodified silica and silicon substrates by dewetting after spincoating, while it was changed to a thin porous film on the modified substrates by suppressing a progress of dewetting. The porous structure remained after sintering at 300 o C, resulting in the formation of semitransparent and conductive thin porous Au films with a transmittance of about 40 % in the visible light region and a surface resistivity of 10 -2 -10 -3 /square. We also demonstrated that the thin porous Au film was available as a wet etching mask for silicon microprocessing using a hydrogen fluoride (HF) aqueous solution.
