Abstract

Growing amount of electronic waste worldwide is becoming a pressing issue. Since printed circuitry boards are constructed to be robust and durable, recycling them is difficult in the process. Therefore, it would be preferable to turn to transient or biodegradable materials in electronics. The following paper describes the development of transient, resistive, screen printing paste based on carbon nanotubes. Pastes used to print samples were prepared in several steps including dispersion of carbon nanotubes in water, preparing methylcellulose resin and stirring the two components together to fabricate a desired paste compositions. Different compositions were printed and their properties are compared. Eventually the best composition was used for electrodes to acquire the electrocardiogram.
