Market Definition
With the exceptional ability to create circuits on paper or textiles, Conductive Ink is a technology composed of conductive organic polymers in solvents or metallic particles suspended in binders. Altogether the ink consists of carbon or silver particles that offer conductivity throughout the drawn circuits.
When compared to conventional industrial standards like etching copper from copper-plated substrates to form the same conductive traces on relevant substrates, these inks have emerged as technologically advanced & more cost-effective solutions in electronics.
Market Insights
