Application

Nanosilver inkjet ink finds use in the development of emerging energy technologies such as printed solar cells, energy storage devices, and printed heaters. The ink enables the deposition of conductive layers and electrodes required for efficient energy generation, storage, and management. It is also recommended for IoT applications including antennas (HF, UHF) and sensors, OPV and OLED grids, electrodes, touchscreen bezel busbars.
This Smart′Ink S-CS01520 conductive silver ink is particularly well suited for applications requiring high conductivity and high resolution. This ink, based on nano silver particles, is perfectly suited to design conductive traces on flexible substrates. It is also recommended for IoT applications including antennas (HF, UHF) and sensors, OPV and OLED grids, electrodes, touchscreen bezel busbars.

This ink has been developed to allow photonical curing to enable high throughput printing.
