Thick Film Polymer Composites with Graphene Nanoplatelets for Use in Printed Electronics

  • Conference paper
Mechatronics 2013

Abstract

The paper presents the results of the investigation into layers based on graphene nanoplatelets in polymer resin. Several types of polymer composition with different amount of GNP’s were prepared by modified mixing process used in thick film material preparation. The composite structure was observed under a scanning electron microscope and atomic force microscope. Electoral and mechanical properties of screen printed layers on flexible PET foil were checked. Banding tests show good adhesion to polymer substrate and proved that GNP’s are good for reinforcing or as a conductive additive in composite materials.
