Gravure Printing of Water-based Silver Nanowire ink on Plastic Substrate for Flexible Electronics
Abstract Gravure printing is a promising technique for large-scale printed electronics. However, gravure printing of silver nanowires (AgNWs) so far has been limited in terms of resolution and electrical conductivity. In this study, gravure printing of water-based AgNW ink on a flexible substrate is...
