Abstract

One of the new and important fields of functional printing application is electronics. Among modern products of printed electronics, we find flexible batteries, polymer solar cells, RFID tags, flexible displays, and sensors. For the fabrication of conductive tracks, coatings, and contacts, nanoparticles are of high interest since the processing temperature, as well as the melting point is size dependent. Ink-jet technique is attractive since it allows additively and precisely to fabricate conductive patterns on different substrates—paper, plastics, ceramics, and composites. This method can essentially reduce wastes and is compatible with roll-to-roll technology. Our brief review covers milestones of material and ink formation methods development for the ink-jet printing technology in electronics.
