Abstract
This paper demonstrates a simple two-step method to
sinter inkjet printed silver tracks with boiling salt
water. As the temperature during the sintering process
stays at 110 degrees Celsius, the method is compatible
with most polymer substrates. UV light is used to enhance
adhesion between the printed silver layer and the
substrate film to prevent delamination of silver tracks
during salt water treatment. After 20 min immersion in
boiling salt water, the printed silver lines exhibit
electrical resistivity only two times higher than the
bulk silver value as measured using a four wire
resistance meter
