Inkjet-printing deposition of silver electro-conductive layers on textile substrates at low sintering temperature by using an aqueous silver ions-containing ink for textronic applications

摘要: Abstract The main problem in preparing stable and printable inks for the inkjet printing of textile substrates is overcoming their roughness high sintering temperature. In this study, modified Tollens’ process preparation a suitable water-soluble ink containing silver as tool textronic applications was adopted. choice type ensured printability surfaces with simultaneous at low temperature not exceeding 90 °C. surface resistance inkjet-printed layers on all fabrics studied steadily decreased number deposited. case 8 prints synthetic textiles made polyacrylonitrile, polypropylene, polyester basalt fibres range 0.155–0.235 Ω/sq. achieved. For some natural blends fibres, to achieve proper conductivity an interlayer acrylic copolymer resin applied. same 0.389–0.622 Ω/sq. study confirmed usefulness applied electrodes bending, washing dry-cleaning processes. On basis these findings, potential systems, e.g., capacitors, heating actuators, patch antennas, high-frequency transmission lines were proposed.
