Abstract
An aqueous inkjettable conductive fluid based on carbon
coated copper nanoparticles has been developed. The fluid
can be handled in atmospheric conditions and processed at
low temperature (105°C) with no thermal annealing. A
layer conductivity exceeding 600 S/cm has been
demonstrated. The panicles were produced in a continuous
flow reactor from copper chloride powder by hydrogen
reduction at high temperature (950°C). Results indicate
that conductivity is enhanced through the formation of
carbon nanotubes by addition of ethene and water to the
reaction flow. The type and concentration of dispersing
additive and co-solvents had a significant impact on
dispersion stability and electrical conductivity of the
deposited layer. Applicability of the fluid for direct
patterning of coatings for e.g. antistatic purposes was
demonstrated by inkjet printing of a conductor electrode
pattern
