Microwave Flash Sintering of Inkjet-Printed Silver Tracks on Polymer Substrates

摘要

Within the last few decades inkjet printing has grown into a mature noncontact patterning method, since it can produce large-area patterns with high resolution at relatively high speeds while using only small amounts of functional materials. The main fields of interest where inkjet printing can be applied include the manufacturing of radiofrequency identification (RFID) tags,organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs), and electrochromic devices (ECDs), and are focused on the future of plastic electronics.
