CONDUCTING INK Joseph McMillian MEEN 3344
Common conductive materials used in Conducting Ink Gold Silver Platinum Palladium Carbon-graphite Available as extremely fine powder.
Powder is added to an Organic binder to adjust the Rheology(flowing properties) of the conductor • Pastes • Adhesives • Paint • INK
A typical Conducting Ink print process • 1.Ink regulator • 2. Printer • 3. Control Device • 4. Drying Process
Applications • Printed Circuits (cell phone buttons) • Smart clothing (health monitoring) • Circuit Repair (instead of soldering connections) • Antennas(cost efficient) • Solar panels(layered) • Control systems(sensors) • Sensors(bend easily) • Heating elements • (Rear window deicers)
