Silver Tape: Inkjet-Printed Circuits Peeled-and-Transferred on Versatile Substrates
summary
A transfer-based process moves inkjet-printed silver nanoparticle traces off photo paper onto tapes and polymers (Kapton, PDMS, Scotch, 3M water‑soluble) without heat sintering, preserving conductivity and allowing repairs by re-transfer. Mechanical tests find suitable peel forces of 0.3–6 N/cm; the team evaluates seven materials, three geometries and measures electrical and bending performance. Demonstrations include a wireless multi-layer LED, a Kapton temperature sensor, and a PDMS bending sensor that all function as intended.
