Abstract

This study evaluates the performance of low-temperature-cured graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) and silver nanoparticles (Ag) hybrid conductive ink. The ink's electrical conductivity characteristics are assessed for applications in flexible and printed electronics. Results show that the GNP/Ag hybrid conductive ink achieves high electrical conductivity as compared to traditional high-temperature-cured inks, with robust adhesion to diverse substrates. The low-temperature curing process mitigates thermal damage to temperature-sensitive substrates, expanding the ink's potential applications. These findings contribute to the development of efficient and versatile manufacturing processes for advanced electronic devices, positioning the GNP/Ag hybrid conductive ink as a promising material for emerging technologies.
