Conductive Inks for Wearable/ Stretchable Electronics

As wearable and stretchable electronics applications continue to evolve, conductive inks have an integral role in the fabrication of these applications. From the silver ink to the dielectric ink there are multiple variables that must be taken into consideration when designing the device. Whether it’s choosing an appropriate substrate, if hydrogel is going to be incorporated or even if the application needs to be washed, ink selection is critical. In this presentation the roles inks play and testing that must be considered will be discussed.
