  Silver Nanowires are nanomaterials with high electrical conductivity, resistance to oxidation, and great optical & antibacterial properties. Silver Nanowires also performs great in transparent conducting electrodes for touchscreens, solar cells, flexible displays, sensors, light-emitting diodes, etc. These nanowires can be included in many products like textiles, antibacterial bandages, and EMI shielding. Additionally, silver nanowires have been great as conductive fillers for combined applications. Now, it is essential that the minimum amount of silver is used for establishing the electrical connection in the final matrix, also known as the percolation threshold. Due to its high aspect ratio, silver nanowires can easily reach percolation at concentrations of less than 1%. With great electrical, optical, and thermal properties, silver nanowires have great possibilities for developing advanced technology applications. They are available in powder and dispersion form.

  The carbon-conductive inks are used as an inexpensive method of applying conductors and resistors to polyester films, conventional laminate, different forms of plastic, and other materials through the screen-printing process. It is used to replace gold, cross-over conductors, manufacture resistors, shielding surfaces, etc. The double-sided plated-through hole circuits were replaced by single-sided printed circuit boards. Hence, the carbon conductive ink system allows affordable and alternative concepts in printed circuit boards manufacturing.   When printed circuit boards are manufactured in medium and large series, cost-saving becomes an integral asset. Thus, the cost can be controlled by the replacement of overpriced raw materials with more affordable and economical ones and a simplified production process.   The replacement of gold with carbon conductive ink on contact points removes the requirement of using expensive raw materials and a time-consuming plating...
