Pattern Geometry Effects on Conductive Ink Performance
摘要
Electrical characterisation is a fundamentalFundamental aspect in the evaluation and optimisation of conductive inks, providing critical insight into their performance in practical applications such as printed circuits, sensorsSensor, and stretchable electronics (SE). At the core of this characterisation lies the precise measurement of electrical resistance, which serves as a gateway to understanding a range of properties, including electrical conductivity, charge mobilityMobility, carrier continuity, and the quality of the ink-substrateSubstrate interfaceInterface. Several methods are routinely employed for resistance measurement in printed nanocomposite systems. These include sheet resistance, bulkBulk resistance, and volumeVolume resistivity measurements, each offering different perspectives into the ink’s structural and electrical behaviour.
