SYNTHESIS OF CONDUCTIVE INK BASED ON SILVER NANOPARTICLES AND ITS APPLICATION IN INKJET PRINTING PATTERNS ON GLASS SUBSTRATES

This paper presents a synthesis of silver nanoparticles-based solution which was then used as conductive ink for inkjet printing application. In this work, colloidal nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized from nitrate (AgNO3) with polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) capping agent and ethylene glycol (EG) solvent reducing agent. After the synthesis, nanoparticle characterized by Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) method. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed diameter ranged 10 nm to 60 is suitable process through nozzles printhead (the 21.5 µm). that, some samples square shape printed using on glass substrates heated at different temperatures hot plate. The Field emission-Scanning (FE-SEM) non-contact surface charge analyzer. It found that heat-treatment 200oC 250oC obtained resistivity 0.4-0.5 Ω, could be electronic applications
