Conductive inks for inkjet printing based on composition of nanoparticles and organic silver salt

Inorganic Materials: Applied Research Aims and scope

Abstract

In this article, conductive inks for inkjet printing with high content of silver nanoparticles with the addition of organic silver salt and polymer additives are developed and investigated. Silver nanoparticles are shown to be stably dispersed in a solvent and the presence of a silver salt and a polymeric surfactant ensures the viscosity necessary for printing. A print of test images is performed using a laboratory inkjet printer equipped with an industrial small-droplet printhead followed by annealing of printed patterns at 150–250°C, and their structural and electrical properties are investigated. Simultaneous presence of polymer additives and silver salt is found to influence the structure of the forming conductive layer and the conducting properties.
