Conductivity and Stretchability of Inkjet-Printed Silver Nanoparticle Patterns: Effect of the Number of Printed Layers

Encapsulating and inkjet-printing flexible conductive patterns on a fluoroelastomer for harsh hydrocarbon fluid environments

“…Hence it is recommended that the optimum number of layers to be printed should be determined. 66 In this work, based on the results mentioned by Abu-Khalaf et al , 66 we considered printing three layers. In addition to the inkjet printer parameters, the post-processing treatment such as sintering, which involves the merging of the particles, plays an important role in determining the conductivity of the printed electronic circuit of the wearable device.…”
